A group of five students from Cong Nghiep High School in Hoa Binh will be attending the 11th World Invention Creativity Olympics (WICO) in Seoul from August 4-6, 2022, where they are invited to exhibit their project at the event.
The group created a project – funded by The Dariu Foundation via Code Club – which they call “HEALTH-CARE SYSTEM FOR THE ELDERLY”.
It is more and more common that elderly people are left alone at home, without their children taking care of them as they live far away. One of the common problems that occur, is that they forget to take their medicine. Therefore, a small team of Code Club members developed a project to assist with the care of the elderly.
The system has two functions: measure such indicators as room temperature, humidity, light level etc. These indicators will be online, so that family members can see and control them remotely. The system also includes a medication box that triggers a signal at set times to remind people to take their medications. If they do not take them, the system sends notifications to family members so they can intervene.
