Smart Tracking and Fall Detection for Golden Age’s Citizen

Abstract Senior Citizen is an elderly human in a golden age who has many limitations. The number of older people is increasing in almost every country, including in Indonesia. One of the diseases that were suffered is senile or known as Dementia. Therefore, to protect the elderly, the special care is needed in order to be able to monitor the located and to see the condition of the elderly when they are travelling outside the home. Based on that condition, a prototype of the detector is proposed in this paper namely Smart tracking for the Golden Age’s Citizen. This system consists of a GPS module, a vibration sensor, a GSM Module, and a voice recorder module. GPS module will detect the location, and the vibration sensor will detect the vibration if the elderly falls. The GSM module will send the information in the form of SMS to the family. The voice recorder module is used to record and play the recorded sound. Based on the results of the prototype test, the prototype is successfully detecting the location if the elderly is outside the range. The testing was concluding that the older people position can be tracked approximately around 2-5 meters from the determination in google map application and send an SMS in 3-5 seconds, if the user falls or lost.
