A Simple And Countable Method For The Assessment Of Perceived Well-Being Among Elderly People

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. The software used by the ATMEGA microcontroller was developed using the C language in the AVRStudio development environment. On the basis of the collected results, the Con-Dis - device functioned reliably in monitoring the perceived wellbeing and mood of the test persons.
