Description

一种基于北斗定位的新型老人监控系统A new monitoring system for the elderly based on Beidou positioning

【技术领域】【Technical field】

本实用新型涉及一种基于北斗定位的新型老人监控系统。The utility model relates to a new monitoring system for the elderly based on Beidou positioning.

【背景技术】【Background technique】

中国已步入高速老龄化社会,根据国家统计局统计的数据,截至2018年年底,我国60周岁及以上人口达24949万人,占总人口的17.9%;其中,65周岁及以上人口16658 万人,占总人口的11.9%。而我国的主要养老方式为居家养老,约占90%,根据数据统计,我国每年至少有2500万以上的老年人发生摔倒损伤,在老年意外伤害事件中占比高达 55.73%。China has entered a rapidly aging society. According to statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics, as of the end of 2018, my country's population aged 60 and above reached 249.49 million, accounting for 17.9% of the total population; of which, 166.58 million were aged 65 and above. , accounting for 11.9% of the total population. According to statistics, at least 25 million elderly people in my country suffer from falls every year, accounting for 55.73% of accidental elderly injuries.

根据我国随机体检结果显示患有慢性病的人数比例高达77.6%,我国60岁以上的人群三高患病比率达到50%,老年期痴呆患病率为5.56%,然而目前市场智能化老年用品数量、质量、研发的速度等都远远达不到要求。According to the results of random physical examination in my country, the proportion of people suffering from chronic diseases is as high as 77.6%, the prevalence rate of the three high diseases among people over 60 years old in my country is 50%, and the prevalence rate of senile dementia is 5.56%. The quality and the speed of research and development are far from meeting the requirements.

目前对老人的监控系统都比较单一,不全面。有的是对老人居家时的火灾、气体进行检测,发出警报。有的是通过电气和用水异常判断老人是否摔倒,准确性不高。有的是摔倒时发短信给家人,鞋上贴上特殊标签,装载摄像头,但是仅仅发送短信,告诉老人的家人经纬度很难找到老人具体地方,摄像头的安装体积也比较大,不方便老人出行。还有的是对老人血压进行测量,但是并没有有效的反馈出来,起不到重要的作用。At present, the monitoring systems for the elderly are relatively simple and incomplete. Some are detecting fires and gases when the elderly are at home, and issuing alarms. Some use abnormal electrical and water use to determine whether the elderly have fallen, but the accuracy is not high. Some people send text messages to their family members when they fall, put special labels on their shoes, and install cameras, but just send text messages to tell the family members of the elderly that it is difficult to find the specific place of the elderly. The installation volume of the cameras is also relatively large, which is inconvenient for the elderly to travel. There is also the measurement of the blood pressure of the elderly, but there is no effective feedback, and it does not play an important role.
