Abstract :
In the old age, few people need intensive care if they are suffering from specific diseases as they can get stroke while they are in normal life. Also patients of any age, who are not able to walk, need to be taken care of personally. For this they have to be in hospital or someone like nurse should be with them for better care. This is costly in terms of money and man power. A person is needed for 24×7 care of these people. To help in this aspect we purposes an intensive care system which will take input from the patient and will provide information to the specified person, who is currently may not in the patient room. This will reduce the need of man power, also a continuous monitoring would not be needed. The system is using MS Kinect for better accuracy and can be installed at home or hospital easily. The system provides GUI for simple usage and gives visual and audio feedback to user. This system work on natural hand interaction and also no need to wear any sensor, glove or color strip.
