Abstract. The increasing ageing global population is causing an upsurge in ailments

associated with adulthood, primarily Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, but also a
general need for overall eldercare also for active and healthy ageing. In turn, there's a
requirement for constant monitoring and assistance, intervention, and support, causing a
substantial financial and human burden on individuals like their family and their
caregivers. LabVIEW is the software used since it is a user friendly platform which
supports GUI interface for experiments and analysis of various physiological
parameters which is essential for the patient’s wellness. The main objective behind this
work is to design a continuous real time elderly patient monitoring and alert reminder
System using LabVIEW, which enables continuous monitoring and reminder system
for a patient and helps the doctors to arrive at a better diagnosis. This paper presents
software implementation of system for house automation using LabVIEW.

Keywords. LabVIEW, alert, reminder, dementia, monitoring, temperature, gas sensor,
