The platform provides information on general living, community news, alerts from the government, etc and enables the elderly to listen to latest news and related updates. Another project showcased was Intelligent Preventive Healthcare System, which combines wireless sensors, mobile device, cloud, intelligent analysis software and machine learning for the next generation of preventive healthcare. Bluetooth Low-Energy Heart Health Monitoring System and Cardiovascular Monitoring System were the other two.
