Today, we are forward to meeting an older people society in the world. The elderly people have become a high risk of dementia or depression. In recent years, with the rapid development of internet of things (IoT) techniques, it has become a feasible solution to build a system that combines IoT and cloud techniques for detecting and preventing the elderly dementia or depression. This paper proposes an IoT-based elderly behavioral difference warning system for early depression and dementia warning. The proposed system is composed of wearable smart glasses, a BLE-based indoor trilateration position, and a cloud-based service platform. As a result, the proposed system can not only reduce human and medical costs, but also improve the cure rate of depression or delay the deterioration of dementia.
