Today's society is battling issues of ageing and low birth rate. As many seniors spend the day alone at home or live alone altogether and since many suffer from chronic disease, a home security system is essential in monitoring a senior's condition at home to further analyze their behavior at home. This study applies beacon technology to conduct analysis on the amount of time a senior spends in a certain home area in order to assess whether they are in dangerous condition. In case of danger, the system can immediately notify family members to come to aid. This project utilizes beacons' low power consumption feature to reduce frequency in battery changes to avoid seniors' adaptation issues with information technology. Moreover, beacons and beacon receivers are affordable to family of all ranges.
