<p>This report illustrates the technical design for the monitoring system of wellbeing and demonstrates its feasibility in elderly people. The Con-Dis device consists of three buttons with a happy, neutral or unhappy face, each describing the mood of the patient. The functionality of the device was tested on 5 test persons who were asked to demonstrate their state of well-being by pressing one of the three buttons representing present condition three times per day for a time period of one week (5 working days). The device is based on Atmel’s 8-bit AVR microcontroller, ATMEGA 128, placed on an AVR-MT-128 development board.
