Abstract
A handheld device (such as a smartphone/wearable) can be used for tracking and delivering navigation within a building using a wireless interface (such as WiFi or Bluetooth Low Energy), in situations when a traditional navigation system (such as a global positioning system) is unable to function effectively. In this paper, we present an indoor navigation system based on a combination of wall-mounted wireless sensors, a mobile health application (mHealth app), and WiFi/Bluetooth beacons. Such a system can be used to track and trace people with neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients, throughout the hospital complex. The Contact tracing is accomplished by using Bluetooth low-energy beacons to detect and monitor the possibilities of those who have been exposed to communicable diseases such as COVID-19. The communication flow between the mHealth app and the cloud-based framework is explained elaborately in the paper. The system provides a real-time remote monitoring system for primary medical care in cases where relatives of Alzheimer’s patients and doctors are having complications that may demand medical care or hospitalization. The proposed indoor navigation system has been found to be useful in assisting patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) while in the hospital building.
