Abstract
In this paper, we implemented a welfare system for the elderly living alone, disabled, or babies to provide fast incident response in case of emergency situations. The proposed system can quickly recognize emergency situations using heart rate sensors and real-time image sharing. The sensors attached on a wrist band monitor the heart rate along with relevant bio signals of clients and send alarms to guardians in the emergency situations. At the same time, the real-time image signals are captured using OpenCV and sent to the guardians in order to give the exact information for fast and appropriate response to handle the situation. In the proposed system, the camera works only in the emergency situations so as to provide enough privacy to the client's every day life.
