Tokihiro Tamura, Fumiaki Ehara · 2016
Solitary death of elderly people is recognized as social problem in Japan. There is a compelling need for a device that notifies the hospital at once when they have a health accident. In this study, we made a system which watched health condition by measuring a body conduction sound. The system is comprised of measuring equipment and a receiving device. The measureing equipment consists of a microcomputer, a body conduction sound sensor and a bluetooth module. An Android smartphone is used as a receiving device. The measurement data is sent to an android terminal through bluetooth communication.
