ELMOS “Elderly Health Monitor System” as An Android Smartphone-Based Elderly Health Monitor Service

Abstract

Elderly Health Monitor system named ELMOS as an android smartphone-based elderly health monitor service is essential in preventing elderly health problems, as well as providing a framework or basis for maintaining health awareness. This device comes with three functions which are sensing body temperature, heart rate and fall detection using Arduino. DS18B20 is used for the sense of body temperature. Body temperature could be a basic parameter for monitoring and identification human health. Heartbeat sensor was used for sensing heart rate. Accelerometer MPU 6050 was used to detect a senior citizen falling in real- time and to use the bluetooth communication to notify the administrator of such an event. As a result, we found that the system can be used to measure physiological parameters, such as body temperature, heart rate and fall detection
