| Abstract: | 隨著人口結構逐漸邁向高齡化社會,同時因少子化的關係,未來將有三分之一的銀髮族將會進住所謂的 安養機構生活安渡晚年。然而現今各級安養院所所提供的老人照護服務,不論是在院中或是在戶外活動期間, 被照護者往往得不到妥善的照護,其原因除了人力資源上的問題外,最主要就是缺乏一套有效的健康照護管 理系統。有鑑於此,本研究企圖設計發展一套可提供安養機構行動照護服務的優化健康照護系統概念產品。 藉由此優化健康照護管理系統整合嵌入式無線行動網路(WLAN)、無線感測技術(ZigBee)、無線射頻辨識(RFID) 等多項前瞻技術,來發展一套完整的安養健康照護系列產品,以使即時持續性地監測並傳輸老人的生理訊號 (心跳、血壓及體溫等生理資料)至照護機構之監護系統分析(主機),讓被照護者得到最即時且妥善的照顧;本 研究最終發展出四項安養照護概念產品,包括:「個人行動生理監測器 U-Care」、「行動護理車 U-Mobile」、「健 康資訊站 U-info」及「休閒復健設備 U-Joy」,希望此研發成果能提供安養機構的住民有更好的健康照護品質, 同時也能提供照護人員在照護住民時得到更多的便利,以減輕其工作負擔。
As the population structure gradually move towards an aging society and the low birth rate, one-third of the elderly will live into the nursing homes for their old age in the future. However, today all different levels of nursing institutions can not provide the elderly proper care services during the indoor or outdoor activities. The key problem is the lack of an effective health care management system unless the human resource issue. Thus, this study attempted to develop a set of concept products based on the the optimized health care system for assisting the nursing homes to provide the elderly mobile services in the indoors and outdoors cares. This study embedded wireless local area networks (WLAN), wireless sensor networks (ZigBee), and radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to develop a set of health care products for optimizing the health care management system. To continuously real-time monitor the physiological signals including heart bit, blood pressure, temperature values and transfer these information to the care facility monitoring systems (host) for the elderly long-term helth care management, it can make the elderly gain the most immediate and proper health care. Finally, the project developed four concept products including (1) U-Care; (2) U-Mobile; (3) U-Info and (4) U-Joy. We hope to provide the elderly who living in the nursing homes more living quality and better health care. Meanwhile, it can also provide the caregivers more convenience for reducing the work-loading. when they care the elderly. |
