Summary:碩士 === 中原大學 === 電機工程研究所 === 102 === The improvement in medicine and biotechnology has increased the average life expectancy in Taiwan, leading to an aging population. In fact, chronic illness is now the most rampant cause of death among the elderly. Therefore, it is very important to monitor and take care of the state of health among the elderly. However, the proper medical care for the elderly has always been a challenge in Taiwan due to shortage in medical professional. To solve this problem, my study proposes a Real-time Telehealth Management System(RTMS) that helps both the elderly and the hospital to self-monitor their physical health efficiently. The proposed includes two sub-systems, Mobile Telehealth Management System(MTMS) and Web page Telehealth Management System(WTMS). The MTMS uses multiple sensors to collect physical signals of the elderly and send these signals to smart phones via Wi-Fi, which allows the elderly to monitor their health state from checking APP. The WTMS uploads the physical signals of the elderly online via FTP approach. In this case, hospitals anywhere needs only to enter IP address to remotely monitor the health state of the elderly, which makes the process of providing medical care much more efficient. Finally, the experimental results show that the proposed RTMS system can achieve favorable performance.
