Dementia is a disease that impairs memory and thinking abilities. Dementia significantly impacts lifestyle, social skills, and daily activities. The number of elderly individuals with dementia in Indonesia has significantly increased over time. There is a problem for families or caregivers in monitoring the activities and whereabouts of elderly individuals with dementia when the caregiver is not at home. In response to this issue, the design of a device that can monitor the activities and location of elderly individuals with dementia within a room is carried out. In the design of the system, the author develops and implements an activity recognition algorithm using fuzzy logic with an accuracy of 96.7%. Additionally, the author designs a website that can be used by family members or caregivers to monitor the activities and location of the elderly individuals from outside the house. The designed website can display visualizations of the elderly individual's location and activities, the battery percentage of the device used by the elderly individual, as well as the history of their location and activities. The website has a user-friendly interface and follows the expected flow determined by the author. Finally, the author designs and implements a PCB casing to protect the PCB and battery from external disturbances.
