Abstract

We have installed and applied the developed nonintrusive type physiological data monitoring methods in already existing normal apartment style house. Physiological data are collected from beds, toilet seat and sensors installed throughout rooms. Collected data are transmitted by wireless communication to the home server, which collects, processes and finally transmits data to central server. Home server communicate with central server through installed high-speed Internet line. By the monitoring windows, doctors and caring staffs can access collected data on central server.
