Senior Smart Health Monitoring System

The population of Canadians aged 85 and older is rapidly increasing, with over 861,000 people in this age group recorded in the 2021 Census, more than double the figure from 2001. The number of seniors aged 85+ continues to rise and could triple by 2046, reaching 2.5 million. Additionally, over 9,500 centenarians now live in Canada, a 16% increase since 2016. The increase in longevity, particularly among those aged 85 and older, often correlates with a rise in chronic conditions and health-related challenges, making continuous health monitoring essential for maintaining quality of life. With the objective of monitoring and improving the health, quality of life, and well-being of seniors, their families and communities, this project proposes a Senior Smart Health Monitoring system. The system has two primary components: a wristband, to be worn by people in need of care, for real-time health data collection and a set of cellphone apps/software for data management and monitoring. Additionally, the product will offer features such as video and audio surveillance, GPS tracking, and emergency SOS calls.
