DEVELOPMENT OFA BED SENSORFOR AN INTEGRATED DIGITALHOME MONITORING SYSTEM

NewZealand Abstract -Inmodern civilization people live longer thanbefore anditisexpected that this increased longevity will beenjoyed ina safe, soundandsecured living environment. Butwithincreased of agemental abilities arereduced andthere isanecessity ofcare- giver which mayinterfere with their privacy. Inthis research work, wetarget towards thedevelopment ofawireless sensors based homemonitoring system especially forelder people. Thecurrent systemisbasedonsensors whichdetect useofelectrical appliances whether they areconnected toelectrical mains. Butit hasbeenrealized tothere isarequirement ofafewmoresensors tomaking a smarthomemonitoring system. Thispaperhas reported thedevelopment ofabed-sensor which formsonesensor ofthehomemonitoring system.
