Population aging is a serious problem nowadays in many countries. This creates a huge demand of long-term health care. In many long-term care institutes, a caregiver has to take care of many elderly people at the same time. Some of them have been paralyzed in bed, while others are still able to move in the institutes. It is not uncommon that a caregiver has to spend a lot of time to find an elder to perform daily care operations, such as injections, medications, and blood pressure measuring. Elders may move in dangerous places, such as kitchens, stairs, and bathrooms. In this paper, we present an iBeacon-based indoor positioning system for long-term care institutes. Thus, the staffs of long-term care institutes can easily locate the elders, and be notified when some elders move in dangerous places.
