Outdoors Monitoring of Elderly People Assisted by Compass, GPS and Mobile Social Network

We explore the use of mobile social network technology combined with modern mobile phone hardware as a platform for programming applications in the elder care area. An application that covers two use cases for outdoors monitoring and detecting disorientations of the elderly is introduced. The system leverages on standard mobile terminals (Android G1) equipped with GPS and compass devices and on LibreGeoSocial, a mobile social framework we are developing.
