Abstract

In this paper, a novel Internet-of-things (IoT) based telecare system is proposed to provide high-quality care services to silver generations. It consists of various sensor nodes including activity sensors, wearable emergency pagers, emergency telephone as a home gateway, and a server as a telecare service platform. Especially, an activity index as a qualification method is presented to analyze the activities of daily living. By using the activity index, the daily/weekly/monthly activity information can be obtained, from which we infer the activity pattern, notice the abrupt change of the activity, and take appropriate actions in abnormal situations.

본 논문은 실버 세대에게 양질의 돌봄 서비스를 제공하기 위한 사물인터넷 기반의 텔레케어 시스템을 제안한다. 제안한 시스템은 활동량 감지기를 포함한 각종 센서와 사용자 휴대용 응급호출기, 게이트웨이 역할을 수행하는 응급전화기와 텔레케어 서비스 플랫폼인 서버로 구성된다. 특히 활동량 분석을 위해 활동량 인덱스라는 계량화 방안을 제시하고 이를 통해 수집된 일간/주간/월간 활동량 정보를 통해, 실버세대 마다 활동 패턴을 도출하고 변화 감지를 통해 이상 상황을 적절하게 대응할 수 있도록 구현하였다.
