Abstract :
This paper proposes a health care system that could “keep the elderly at good health before the illness occurs”, including “smart phone based mobile health care for the elderly”, “indoor wireless transmission network location and data acquisition” and “wireless transmission electronic scale”. This system can provide a health care management environment for the elderly, facilitate their concern over self health management, reduce the medical resource expenditure, and improve the quality of life.
