Abstract

The application of localization in healthcare system is a crucial topic which helps to locate the position of patent or the elderly in case urgency happens. From this aspect, a wireless technology is adopted to provide an efficient localization monitoring system for patients or the elderly in indoor area. The location of patients can be obtained through the developed algorithm. Fuzzy C-Means clustering (FCM) is one of the applicable techniques to locate the position of patients. However, low accuracy of FCM is the main problem. For this reason, the revised FCM localization algorithm, Calibrated Fuzzy C-Means Clustering Algorithm (C-FCM) is proposed in this investigation based on received signal strength (RSS) in wearable device. The proposed algorithm is evaluated through experiment and it has a percentage improvement of 14% compared with FCM.
