For the 14th TESA Top Gun Rally competition this year, “Health Monitoring and Management Systems for Elderly and All Kinds of People”, the prototype of embedded systems combined with digital technology will be developed in the form of personal devices that will send important information and situations to caregivers using sensors and transmitters in the device, sending the information to a nearby gateway before sending it to the server and notifying caregivers via the website. This is an application of technology to help care for the elderly in a model similar to a Smart Senior Complex that has personal devices for the elderly to monitor their health and watch out for potential accidents, and can also notify caregivers in advance or immediately. There will also be notifications of environmental predictions from the central location that will affect the health of the elderly, such as wind currents and smog, which directly affect the health of the elderly in each area.
