2.0 System Overview
The MobileCare
™ Monitor System helps healthcare professionals and caregivers to
provide wireless monitoring services for independent and ambulatory residents in
retirement communities or assisted living settings. The
MobileCare™ Monitor
System is capable of monitoring elderly residents on a continuous basis (24x7). The
system is primarily designed to monitor alerts from these individuals and transmit
this data to servers for storage and processing. The main applications of the
MobileCare™ Monitor System are:
Residents can send emergency and assistance needed alerts to
caregivers.
Caregivers can keep track of the location of the residents within the
premises.
Caregivers are provided impact detection alerts.
The user interface between a monitored individual and the MobileCare
™
Monitor
System is a wireless personal help device (my
PHD) or ―watch‖ that is worn on an
individual’s wrist. This watch is a non-intrusive and form-friendly portable alerting
device that transmits data wirelessly to a gateway and server via a wireless mesh
network.
The
MobileCare™ Monitor System consists of the following components (
