Abstract
We have developed an electronic safety support system to assist in the care of elderly people The system uses a low power mobile phone PHS and a server computer The PHS is carried by the subjects and their location is identified within 100 m from the PHS antenna ID The caregiver sets the patient s movement area with specialized computer software When the patient leaves the area the system automatically informs the caregiver via voice mode and sends the patient s location map by e mail The caregiver can monitor the current location and prior movement by the map displayed on server computer
