Research Abstract |
In this study, we attempted to evaluate a motion measurement tag with tri-axis accelerometer and gyrometer and to propose a medical safety and patient care system based on realtime information of body position and acceleration. When both of sensors were used, fall-down was correctly detected than used only an accelerometer, and when recording continuously, we were able to evaluate the posture under sleeping, and a bed rest level objective. If it uses combining location management system, tri-axis accelerometer and gyrometer, we can develop an excellent medical safety system and a patient care system.
