Care System

This paper proposes an approach of Family-Embedded-Health-Care-System base on ARM core processor, mainly for the elderly in a community, but also applys to all residents in the community. The system consists of households composed of client and community health posts. Be connected via Internet or GPRS, it is very practical. To meet the daily needs of health monitoring, and also facilitate community health care workers to grasp the residents health status in the community instantly, so they can service better for the residents. When it is necessary, the physician could accessed the communitys computer serve system through Internet to got a patients daily health record as a diagnostic aid information. This system provided a route for remote medical services came into the ordinary families.

Care Facilities

The trend of ageing at home which is preferred option by the elderly in Australia is to be supported with good community facilities such as community health care facilities. The proximity of these facilities to their homes plays a significant role in their everyday life activity. Thus, this study examines the spatial relationship between elderly’s population distribution and also the spatial distribution of community health care. Digital boundaries and population census 2011 data were retrieved from the Australian Bureau Statistics (ABS). Data on community health care facilities, on the other hand, were obtained from the National Health Services Directory (NHSD). Both data were analysed using Local Indicator Spatial Association technique (LISA). Results show there is a mismatch between the placement of community health care facilities and where the elderly reside. This mismatch will later create accessibility problems to the elderly if not tackle properly. They may be required to travel quite a distance to receive treatment and medications. Facilities are to be provided with projections of elderly population distribution in mind. This condition would minimize accessibility issue in the future.
