Abstract

When we consider about elder people, due to their physical or mental condition they may not be able to perform their day to day task alone, always a supervision of a guardian will be needed. When considering the busy life style, guardians may not be able to track down their elder’s tasks all the time. Private nursing services could be a very expensive option. Elder will need help from someone to full fill their daily needs on the other hand guardian may not be able effort the cost. Due to lack of regular supervision, elders may find a hard time to take care of themselves. They might forget essential daily tasks like to take their medicines, doctors’ appointments etc. There are very few automated systems in the field of elder care. The elder care system explained in this research tends to provide an efficient automated system to help elders to live their life easily. This system will perform tasks such as automated medicine dispensing, search available doctors, panic button, wakeup time detection, sleeping time detection, also if patient unable to take their medicine in time send waring alerts to the guardian. This system will allow guardians to interact with elders if they busy, with the help of an android application.
