Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to zigbee-assisted elderly health and safety monitoring system and emergency response in society.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
For seniors who live alone, this ground-breaking solution provides a comprehensive approach to real-time health monitoring and emergency support. To quickly identify any anomalies or emergencies, it makes use of wearable technology coupled with a variety of sensors, including those for tracking position and monitoring vital signs. This technology gives users and their caregivers peace of mind by putting senior citizens' safety and well-being first.
This creative concept addresses the problem of senior citizens living independently in our communities being safe and well. Elderly people often face health-related challenges and are susceptible to emergencies such as falls or abrupt health deterioration that may go undetected if timely help is not provided.
US9179864B2: A wearable health monitoring device includes at least one sensor for obtaining a signal indicative of movement of a user in at least one axis and logic configured to determine, based upon the signal, whether the user has fallen. The present disclosure relates generally to the field of ambulatory health monitoring, remote monitoring, motion sensing, digital signal processing, and activity monitoring devices. In particular, the present disclosure relates to devices which monitor one or more external signals wherein a change in such signals triggers detection, monitoring, recording, and reporting functions of the system. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to wearable devices to be used for physiological health monitoring, activity assessment monitoring, human state monitoring, categorization of activity, and fall detection.
RESEARCH GAP: A ZigBee-Assisted Elderly Health and Safety Monitoring with emergency response within society is the novelty of the system.
KR20090073583A: A home healthcare system is provided to manage the health of a patient continuously by monitoring bio-signals of a user through a home center. A bio-signal information processing terminal detects a health information parameter through the computation of signals collected from bio-signal detection terminals.

For older people who live alone, the ZigBee-Assisted older Safety Monitoring System seamlessly combines wearable technologies, wireless communication, cloud computing, and data analytics to provide real-time health monitoring and quick emergency response. Seniors' safety, security, and well-being are improved by this innovation, which gives wearers and their caretakers peace of mind. The ESMTS_HMERNode and the ESMRS_HMERNode, the two primary components of the system, interact with one another in a precisely coordinated manner to function. Elderly people use the ESMTS_HMERNode as a hand band. It is outfitted with multiple sensors, such as an infrared pulse sensor, a body temperature sensor, and a GPS modem, to continually track their whereabouts and vital signs. The ESMTS_HMERNode sounds an alarm when it notices any anomalies or emergencies, like abrupt heart rate fluctuations or falls.
After receiving an alert, the ESMTS_HMERNode uses ZigBee technology to connect with the ESMRS_HMERNode, allowing for effective, low-power wireless communication over short distances. Processing the emergency signal, sending and receiving data, and starting a response protocol are all done through the ESMRS_HMERNode. This protocol consists of multiple steps. Firstly, pertinent data, including location and vital signs, are sent to a Management Server that is hosted on a cloud platform for analysis. Prompt notification is sent to designated caregivers or family members and, if needed, surrounding emergency services, in the event that the analysis confirms the existence of an emergency.
The elderly individual in need of assistance will receive prompt assistance from both professional emergency responders and unpaid caretakers thanks to this dual notification system. All of the information acquired during this procedure, such as location data and vital signs, is securely stored on the dedicated cloud server, enabling further monitoring and analysis in the past to identify alterations in behavior and health over time.
BEST METHOD OF WORKING
The ESMTS_HMERNode is a wearable device that is equipped with multiple sensors for real-time health monitoring and emergency detection in elderly individuals, facilitating immediate alerts and ensuring prompt assistance during critical situations. It has an OLED display, a rechargeable battery, an IR pulse sensor, a body temperature sensor, a GPS modem, and a TI MSP430 MCU Board.
The ESMRS_HMERNode, which is situated within society and outfitted with a TI MSP430 MCU Board, ZigBee Module, GSM Wifi Module, TFT Display, Alarm, and Power Supply, is utilized to receive emergency signals from the ESMTS_HMERNode, facilitate communication with family members or designated caregivers, and work in tandem with emergency services to provide prompt assistance in emergency situations.
The ZigBee Module, which is built into both motes, allows for smooth transmission of real-time health data and emergency warnings for prompt response and help. It does this by enabling low-power, short-range wireless communication between the ESMTS_HMERNode and ESMRS_HMERNode.
The ESMTS_HMERNode is equipped with an IR pulse sensor and a body temperature sensor that are used to continuously monitor vital signs. This allows for the early detection of health anomalies and prompt intervention during emergencies, particularly for elderly folks who live alone.
To ensure timely assistance and coordination during critical situations for elderly individuals living alone, the GSM WiFi Module integrated into the ESMRS_HMERNode is used to facilitate communication with emergency services and designated caregivers or family members via cellular networks and WiFi connections.
