The aim of this project was to design and develop a system which is able to monitor the activities of elderly people in a designated area, using a series of motion detectors. If there is no movement for a prolonged period of time, which may indicate that person is in distress, a pre-set SMS message is automatically sent to a predetermined mobile phone number. This project was done in collaboration with PHILIPS Electronics Pte Ltd.
