Habits Log

Habits Log is a customised health tracking system which aims at assessing and predicting probable geriatric depression through early identification of disruption of activity pattern and facilitating early care-planning. Radiofrequency Identification (Ultra-high frequency) technology will be integrated. This innovation represents contributions to the industrial field, healthcare workers and elderly. At the industrial level, to our knowledge, Habits Log is one of few innovations that collects data on elderly’s routines with the application of existing technologies and components for both clinical prevention of geriatric depression and academic research. From the healthcare professionals’ perspective, they could save more time for other nursing procedures while keeping track on the elderly’s activity and addressing the need of potential victims of depressive symptoms accordingly. From the elderly’s point of view, the gadget might increase their satisfaction and confidence on integration of health technology in daily care. On top of this, they could identify promptly and receive early intervention to cope with depressive symptoms by creating a unique diary.
