Abstract

Rescue system for disabled and elderly person is proposed together with method and system for frequent health monitoring as vital signs with psychological status monitoring for search and rescue of handicapped person is proposed. Heart beat pulse rate, body temperature, blood pressure, blesses and consciousness is well known vital signs. In particular for Alzheimer diseased persons, handicapped peoples, etc. it is very important to monitor vital signs in particular in the event of evacuation from disaster occurred areas together with location and attitude information. Then such persons who need help for evacuation can be survived. Through experiments wearing the proposed sensors with three normal persons including male and female, young and elder persons and one diseased person, it is found that the proposed system is useful. It is also found that the proposed system can be used for frequent health condition monitoring. Furthermore, physical health monitoring error due to psychological condition can be corrected with the proposed system.
