Abstract

In recent years, because of the development of ubiquitous technology in health care, research is actively progress. We describe a sleeping situation monitoring system, created to support home healthcare services. We discuss the method we used to develop the system and how to use the sleep activity monitor to support home health care. Information about the sleeping situation is collected from motion detection, sound, and vibration sensors. And this information is based on real-time processing, we used the TMO (Time-trigger and Message-trigger Object) schema and TMOSM (TMO Support Middleware) into the development software environment of the healthcare application. To verify the practical use of sleeping situation information as recorded by the system discussed in this paper, we relate an example of the monitoring of a sleeping situation using our system, and we describe the results of an experimental evaluation.
