Wenbo Cheng · Applied Mechanics and Materials · 2012
The problem of population aging is very severe in China; in-home healthcare of the elderly has become an urgent important topic. Wireless sensor networks in many areas have been applied widely, the purpose of this work is to construct wireless healthcare network by using the ZigBee communication technology, and to achieve the real-time localization for healthcare of the elderly. The indoor data acquisition and simulation analysis show that this wireless sensor network has the characteristics of easy to construct and high precision localization. This study to promote the elderly healthcare has positive effect.
