Hong Kong is facing the challenge of an ageing population. Elderly care homes have long struggled with high labour costs and severe staff shortages, particularly during night shifts. Traditional manual measurements of body temperature, blood pressure, and blood oxygen by caregivers are time-consuming and often disturb residents’ rest, meaning potential health risks may not be detected in time.
To address this issue, the Hong Kong Productivity Council has successfully developed the “Intelligent Integrated Non-wearable and Wearable Health Monitoring System and App for Elderly Homes.” The system utilises advanced millimetre-wave radar and infrared sensing technologies. Non-wearable sensors can be discreetly placed beneath mattresses or pillows, allowing elderly residents to sleep as usual while the system automatically monitors vital signs such as heart rate, respiration, and bed-leaving status. With its real-time abnormality alert mechanism, the system significantly reduces caregivers’ manual measurement and night-time ward rounds, enabling residents to enjoy a safer and more comfortable living environment while greatly improving service efficiency and quality within care homes.
