초록

본 연구에서는 배회가능성이 있는 치매환자의 실종예방을 위하여 웨어러블 디바이스(Wearable Device) 형식의 블루투스 비콘을 활용한 치매환자의 실내위치기반 모니터링시스템을 제안하였다. 이 시스템은 치매환자의 관리범위내 존재유무를 확인해 주며 치매환자가 비콘의 신호수신 설정거리를 이탈하면 즉, 지정된 관리구역을 벗어나면 비상메시지가 보호자와 관리자의 스마트 디바이스로 전달되는 시스템이다. 이 시스템의 주요 특성은 비콘을 착용한 치매환자를 특정장소에 설치된 비콘 신호수신용 스마트 기기(AP)에서 신호를 감지하여 환자의 위치를 파악하는 가역적 방법을 적용한 것이다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 블루투스 비콘을 활용한 실내위치기반 치매환자 모니터링 시스템은 요양병원, 재가요양시설 등에서 생활하는 배회가능성이 있는 치매환자의 실종예방에 기여하는 효과적 시스템으로 생각된다.

In this study, a dementia patient care monitoring system is suggested that uses a wearable type bluetooth beacon to prevent them from going missing. This system shows whether the patients stay within the manageable area and sends a warning message to their monitoring managers' or guardians' smart devices when they leave it. The feature of the system is that it provides the service based on indoor location that makes the beacon worn by dementia patients continuously transmit their location information to the managing server through the smart terminal installed indoors or in hospitals and that enables the monitoring managers or the guardians to receive messages sent from the server that tell the patients' whereabouts through their smart devices. The system suggested in this paper is believed to be a system that effectively contributes to the prevention of the dementia patients' going astray from the hospitals and facilities where they are taking care.
