The demand for health services for the elderly has become an urgent problem to be solved. In order to solve the problems of elderly people who are prone to sudden disease during sleep, difficulty in night care, and the unconstrained requirements for health monitoring, an unconstrained vital signs mattress monitoring system was proposed. An intelligent mattress with built-in thin film piezoelectric sensors was developed to realize the real-time monitoring of vital signs such as heart rate, respiratory rate and body movement state. At the same time, medical and health resources are integrated to provide personalized and precision health care services for the elderly including safety monitoring, health management, etc. and build a smart health and elderly care service system. The experimental application shows that the system can effectively prevent accidents, improve both the efficiency of care and the level of health care services.
