Abstract

For participants of diabetes prevention programs, we consider that it is effective to record vital signs, such as weight and blood pressure, and to receive instruction based on such readings during the follow-up period in order to avoid rebound. Although the Internet is an effective medium for recording data and reporting everyday health status, health support systems that require the use of a PC can place a heavy burden on users, especially elderly users. In this research, we utilized a sensor information web service which is a home network based on ZigBee, and discuss effective implementation of a follow-up system. We explained and demonstrated the proposed system to participants who had completed a diabetes prevention program and administered a questionnaire about their impression of system use. From the questionnaire results, we clarify the considerations and requirements necessary for introducing such a home network system with the elderly. The ultimate purpose of this paper is providing to provide a standard knowledge base system toward a medical prescription capable of dealing with(inconsistencies) and exceptions cases, which will enhance individual healthcare and provide an appropriate prescription. This is accomplished by expanding the capabilities of description logic with defeasible rules, to achieve accurate prescription decision for any patient’s condition(s).
