The ageing population increases significantly in these years.How to care for the elderly people living alone becomes an important problem.This design is a wireless monitoring system for elderly people living alone based on ZigBee and LabVIEW because ZigBee is a low power and low cost wireless networking technology and LabVIEW is a graphical programming platform.This system performs monitoring for daily activities of the elderly by setting a variety of different parameter sensors in the room and the monitoring data are sent to the monitoring center wirelessly.Then the monitoring personnel can monitor the daily activities of the elderly.When there are some abnormal situations occurring in the elderly, the system can immediately sound the alarm and inform their families.This design can make the elderly living alone get proper care.Therefor this system is an economic and effective monitoring system for the elderly people.
