Monitoramento de crianças e idosos utilizando uma WBAN

Abstract

Introduction: The technologies that use wireless data transmission are becoming increasingly popular, and with this the wireless body area network (WBAN), allied directly to the wireless sensor network (WSN), has been studied and implemented by many researchers and industry. Method and Objective: In this context, the goal of the project is to propose a technology solution, the Weartool, which focuses on a system that assists the responsible in the monitoring of the elderly and children, presenting, through an application, possible falls in the elderly, the child's excessive distances and the ambient temperature, as well as other configurations regarding the application and the sensors used. Therefore, the smartphone application will be notified, assisting in the decision making of the parents or guardians. Result: The results show the efficiency of the device for the proposed functions, according to the tests performed and the data returned. Conclusion: Therefore, with tests done, in a quantity of sample used, we can conclude that Weartool had a concrete result in relation to the detection of falls, distance and ambient temperature.
