Development of wireless device for elderly care monitoring
Demands for elderly care monitoring is constantly rising along with the ageing population. The numbers of falls experienced by elderly and number of elderly getting lost due to dementia is extremely worrying. With proper monitoring, these numbers could reduce significantly. This report shows the dev...
