Innovative Information Services by Smart Multimedia Systems for Senior and Disabled Citizens

Abstract

The advanced digital technology and wireless transformation now enabling the user with the next generation to connect devices for home and presents challenges for senior citizens and disabled persons. Wireless sensor network provides a smart health solution for enabling computerized, continuous, physical signals, and performing data processing operations. There are some important parameters such as heart rate, body temperature, respiration rate, blood pressure, etc., that are captured real-time activity signals and analysed by the appropriate connected sensors. Biosensors are complete and continuously capture physiological parameters at any time and everywhere. The complete source of information is integrated with the smartphone devices and sometimes the most risk factor information is immediately sent to the remote hospitals. The main aim of this chapter is to focus on the overview of various advanced technologies like google glass, Fitbit, Microsoft Band, etc. for monitoring elder people and disabled persons.
