Abstract

This paper mainly studies the smartphone application for health vigilance in elderly adults, based on geographic information system (GIS) for village health volunteers (OSOMO in Thai) to monitor elderly’s health. Eight areas from 4 provinces of 7th health territory (Roi Et, Khon Kaen, Maha Sarakham,...
