摘要

Biometric sensors are transforming elderly care, providing a hopeful answer to the difficulties presented by an aging demographic. By empowering older individuals to manage their health more effectively, biometric sensors improve their quality of life and reduce the pressure on healthcare systems. With the rapid growth of the aging population, healthcare services play a special role in public health by providing effective care and treatments. Among these services, hospital care is responsible for about 40% of the total expenditures on medical care and is one of the largest public financial burdens. Consequently, it is vital to perform such tasks automatically. This paper presents a general population model to construct the environment for health and activity monitoring and to offer valuable suggestions and medical care by employing the ubiquitous healthcare system.
