An Energy Efficient Wearable for Monitoring Elderly People Health

This report details the development of an energy-efficient, watch-type wearable device designed for monitoring the health of elderly individuals. The system leverages Sigfox IoT service to track motion, location, and vital signs, aiming to predict risk situations such as falls or sudden changes in health. Its primary innovation lies in achieving extended battery life of at least 30 days, addressing a critical limitation of existing monitoring solutions that often suffer from low efficiency and short battery duration.

Addressing the health and safety of an aging population is a growing societal and economic challenge, impacting healthcare systems and family caregivers. Technologies that provide reliable and sustained monitoring capabilities, such as the proposed energy-efficient wearable, can significantly enhance preventive care, improve response times to emergencies, and reduce the overall burden on healthcare resources.

The aged population faces elevated risks, including falls, vital sign fluctuations, and faints, necessitating improved monitoring.
