Abstract

With the aging population, health issues have become a significant challenge for society. The increasing demand for remote medical services stems from changing interests in reducing healthcare costs and the sudden outbreak of COVID-19 globally. As the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud technology advance rapidly worldwide, this trend has driven the digital transformation of biotechnology and pharmaceutical-related industries. Health care is shifting from a focus on medical institutions to a decentralized approach, emphasizing care facilities and home-based services. However, remote medical care brings about certain challenges, such as limited appointment availability due to network constraints, concerns about internet security, data encryption, privacy issues, and lack of awareness among people in remote areas. With the continuous development and widespread adoption of technology, smart home systems have become an integral part of modern life. In this project, the system emphasizes interaction with the elderly and utilizes the multifunctionality of touch screens. It provides various features through a simple and user-friendly interface, including health monitoring, outpatient services, life assistance, and social interaction functions. In the future, the system can incorporate more interactive features for the elderly, such as mini-games to enhance cognitive abilities, hand-eye coordination, or rehabilitation training.
