Jack Jean Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering Wright State University jack.jean@wright.edu RFID for Health CareTracking and Monitoring
Outline • FastFind • Zigbee-Based Body Temperature Sensor Node • Bluetooth-Based Fall Detection Sensor Node
FastFind: RFID Asset/People Tracking • for hospital/nursing home use • track, manage, and optimize the usage of assets • track personnel and patients • monitor events that need special care.
RF Code A750 Room Locator • Uses 36 KHz IR to transmit a 3 digit octal ID for room location • Uses a form of bi-phase encoding • Take the first 9 of 15 bits for room ID
Healthcare Monitoring Devices • Hospitals/Nursing Homes/Assisted Living Communities/Home Care • Zigbee-Based Body Temperature Sensor Node with IR Capability • Bluetooth-Based Fall Detection Sensor Node with IR Capability
Wireless Protocol Choice * : can be much longer with different Bluetooth class.
Temperature Sensor: • Microchip TC77 with an SPI interface • Meets ASTM Standard for electronic thermometer • Microcontroller: • Microchip PIC24F16KA102 • sleep mode at 500 nA • 1.8 to 3.6 V
Right-hand side: a failed attempt to further improve the device.
Fall Detection Sensor-Phase 1 • The sensors were made as a shield mounted on top of the Arduino Uno development board. • The shield has the following components: • Bluesmirf gold Bluetooth module (class 1). • ADXL335 3-axes accelerometer. • 36KHZ Infrared Receiver.
Fall Detection Sensor-Phase 2 • PCB and a new panic button • Operating Environment: • Typical input voltage 9.0 Volts. • Typical transmission range for the Bluetooth module : 200 feet.
Fit the board to an enclosure that has a 9-volt battery compartment and a belt clip to easily attach the device on the waist • An ON/OFF switch, and a panic button
Accelerometer data analysis • Matlab was used to interface with the fall detection device to analyze the accelerometer values in the x,y,z directions. • Future work will include human subject testing to find the thresholds values for daily life activates, to be able to have a concise algorithm that can differentiate between falls and daily life activities .
Independent Living for the Elderly • The device communicates through Bluetooth to an Android phone in case of a fall or if the panic button is pressed. The phone can call 911 directly for medical help, or call a family member.
Android Phone Interface pairing the Android app with the fall detection device. Received command “P” for panic, calling a family member or call 911 Received command “F” for fall, dial a number to request help
