Implementing Monitoring System for Alzheimer in Nigeria: Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) Knowledge Based Perspective

Journal Name:

Publication Year:

Abstract (2. Language): 
The study review healthcare knowledge management (KM) concept and wireless sensor network (WSN) technologies to propose community-based healthcare service for Alzheimer (Dementia) in Nigeria. Its proposition incorporates an intelligent electronic based system for analysis and monitoring so as to provide the caregiver or community based health care service with relevant information promptly. Community-based healthcare service could address issue facing aging disease patients (dementia) such as mobility monitoring (alerts and falls), infections control and cardiovascular diseases risk factors (hypertension and diabetes). This paper proposed a robust Alzheimer monitoring system (RAMS) in Nigeria to enhanced community-based healthcare activities.
