摘要

本研究針對高齡化社會下日漸趨多的獨居老人，提供一兼具心靈慰藉、用藥提醒、生理參數偵測紀錄、基本生活照護及遠距監控功能的安伴照護裝置，並秉持人性化與生活化的觀點，主張裝置易操控，且當設置於日常生活中必注意之處並能融入使用者生活環境之中。而藉由引入此照護裝置，可以提醒老人時時注意自身的健康狀況外，透過與心靈互動夥伴的互動還可排解心靈的寂寞，並建立樂觀的生活態度。此外，系統擁有危險分級分類制度與通報機制，將根據生理參數異常程度、正確準時用藥與否來進行危險分級分類，根據不同危險級數，決定是否立即透過網路端的監控台通報醫護人員與老人家屬，並前往探視或進行救護行動。急救通報與遠距監控的功能為：讓其家庭醫師與忙於工作的子女能夠於任何時刻任何地方，經由進入資料庫讀取使用者的生理狀況與用藥紀錄來得知使用者近來的健康與用藥情形，且能於危險狀況發生時，立即通報家屬與醫護人員前往救護。本系統預期可早期偵測或預防獨居老人居家照護可能發生之風險，並立即採取必要之緊急處置，以確保獨居老人之健康與安全，並可節省大量的醫療人力、費用與時間。

In today’s aging society, the number of the elderly living alone has been growing gradually. This research has explored this phenomenon, proposing a care and accompaniment appliance that could offer spiritual consolation and medication notification. This appliance could also monitor and record physical parameters, give basic life care, and make distance monitoring. Since the appliance is developed based on the concept of humanization and applicability in daily life, it is not only easy to operate, but also could be readily integrated into users’ living environments. With this care appliance employed, it could often remind the elderly to keep an eye on their own health condition. By interacting with healing partners, the elderly would also become less lonely and more optimistic. In addition, there is a risk classification and rating system as well as notification mechanism built in the system, which will rate and classify the risk in accordance with the abnormality of physical parameters and whether the medication is proper and on schedule. Different risk rates will determine whether it should immediately notify the medics and families of the elderly to pay visits or carry out rescue operation via the network-based monitor console. Emergency notification and distance monitoring is used to allow the family physician and children busy at work to know the user’s recent health condition and medication by accessing the database and reading their physical condition and medication record anywhere anytime. Moreover, it could immediately notify the families and medics for medical aids if it is emergent. Therefore, this system is expected to detect the risk, prevent the potential risk in home health care of the elderly living alone, and take precautionary and immediate emergency measures earlier. This could not only ensure that the elderly living alone is safe and healthy, but also save a lot of healthcare human resources, cost, and time.
