Paper Abstract:
|
We investigate the users perspectives of a WSN-based health monitoring system which comprises both health monitoring and social interaction functions for the elderly people in geriatric facilities. A WSN-based health monitoring and social interaction system is proposed and a survey of elderly peoples acceptance of using it was conducted and analyzed, providing some feedbacks on how could WSN-based system better serve the elderly care. |
