台灣即將步入高齡社會，青壯年人又必須出外工作維持家計，使得年長者的照護成為現今重要議題，為了因應這個現況，本研究將年長者照護與智慧型手環、手機結合，利用現今科技技術提供年長者更完善的照顧與服務，採用Android系統平台設計撰寫，藉由即時天氣與手環感應器偵測生理數值變化，給予年長者即時建議，並提供照護者對於年長者的即時監控與異常症狀及意外警示，輔助照護者更輕鬆地給予照護，並讓鄰近年長者透過App互相關懷、相約出遊形成社群照護網，以達到社群照護的目的。

Taiwan is stepping into an “aged society” while the young people should go out for work to maintain the livelihood of family. Therefore, the issue of “elder care” is becoming more and more significant. In order to solve this circumstance, this research combined elder care with the using of smart band and smartphone to provide seniors a better care and good service. We applied the Android platform to design the application. By obtaining current weather information and using the sensor of the band to detect the change of physical value, the application would give the prompt advice to seniors. It also provides prompt remind of abnormal symptom and accident warning about seniors so that caregivers could take good care of the seniors more easily. Using the application could also shorten the distance between the neighbors who use this application, and made them into a community care state in order to achieve our purpose of research.
