Abstract EN
This paper proposed a remote health monitoring system for the elderly based on smart home gateway.
The proposed system consists of three parts: the smart clothing, the smart home gateway, and the health care server.
The smart clothing collects the elderly’s electrocardiogram (ECG) and motion signals.
The home gateway is used for data transmission.
The health care server provides services of data storage and user information management; it is constructed on the Windows-Apache-MySQL-PHP (WAMP) platform and is tested on the Ali Cloud platform.
To resolve the issues of data overload and network congestion of the home gateway, an ECG compression algorithm is applied.
System demonstration shows that the ECG signals and motion signals of the elderly can be monitored.
Evaluation of the compression algorithm shows that it has a high compression ratio and low distortion and consumes little time, which is suitable for home gateways.
The proposed system has good scalability, and it is simple to operate.
It has the potential to provide long-term and continuous home health monitoring services for the elderly.
