摘要

The OpenCare Personal Communication Device (OCPCD) is an extension of the OpenCare Service Engine infrastructure in the shape of a mobile wrist or neck-born device for monitoring users vital signs and activity-level while not at home, and for allowing the user to remote control his home and communicate with others using the build-in cell phone module. It also provides fall detection by integrating with an external fall detection module. The biggest challenge for mobile devices such as the OCPCD is the power usage level in combination with limited battery resources. The OCPCD has therefore experimentally been equipped with ubiquitous wireless recharging features, assuring that the user will not have to remove the device or connect it with any wires while recharging.
