The Design and Implementation of the Tracking and Monitoring System for Gerocomium Based on Semi-Active RFID Technology

Abstract:

As the ageing of population is getting worse in China, both people and society pay more attention to the support and nursing of the elderly, establishing many gerocomium and monitoring system for the elderly. The monitoring system mainly focuses on the real-time monitoring, however, it is still not accurate and promptly enough in aspects of nursing, quick response, and fixed position accuracy. In order to reduce nursing accidents of the elderly, the semi-active radio frequency identification (RFID) technology has been utilized in the monitoring and positioning system. The tracking and monitoring system of gerocomium has been built based on the idea of the Internet of Things Engineering, realizing the function of quick fixed position, active help-seeking, basic information management, and information processing of activities of the elderly. Therefore, in the real-time monitoring system, problems like inaccurate positioning, slow response, and delay of nursing and assisting the elderly are properly solved.
