The global society is currently suffering problems associate to different aspects and ones that require our concern are regarding the aging society. Many and more countries are entering their aging society era while their healthcare sections have yet effective solutions to overcome the corresponding problems. Therefore, we propose the Elder Care System (ECS) for monitoring behaviours of elderly patients on the bed equipped with our designed system. The system includes notification system, in-bed position prediction system and real-time monitoring system. This paper demonstrates equipment, system architecture and dataflow. The result of our system deployment is discussed.
