Usually the daily life of the elderly people is regular. When they have mental or physical issue, it would reflect on their sleep quality or the frequency of access toilet. Therefore, if a system can monitor these then it can send a message to the younger generation to remind them to contact their parents when the living pattern is abnormal.
