RemCare-Remote Caregiver Using Integrated Framework for People with Cognitive Disability

Abstract

In recent years, people with cognitive disability has increased rapidly. The increase of them considerably affects the family and society that interact with the cognitively disabled person. Children with developmental disability or patients with dementia need to monitor and track their behaviors for their safety. We design smart tracking system which effectively can help to trace their location and to monitor their activities. The system applies a wireless sensor network with an efficient sensor deployment method and an adaptive packet scheduling algorithm. In addition, it provides the real-time monitoring to observe their situation and gives a quick alerting to them and caregivers. In this paper, we present an overview of an integrated framework. © 2016 IEEE.
