The behavior of elderly can express their health conditions. Therefore, understanding and analyzing the behavior of elderly at home has been an issue and concern of many researchers. In this essay, we utilize the framework of the Internet of Things in the home environment and install many sensors and wireless transmission equipment in order to collect the behavior of the elderly at home. Moreover, we design an exclusive home health care system to achieve maximum effect with minimum cost. Through our data acquisition, we can not only have further knowledge of elderly’s daily behavior but provide them a health, safety and secure life that significantly improve the quality of home care.
