It is gradually becoming an aging society all over the world, including Korea. With the aging society, the interest in health is increasing day by day. Among many diseases, heart disease is the third leading cause of death in Korea after cancer and cerebrovascular disease. According to data from the Korea Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service in 2007, about 600,000 patients with cardiovascular disease in Korea show an increase of 8.7% per year for the last five years. Cardiac disease patients in the United States are the highest cause of death, reaching 710.1 million (2005).

Heart disease patients always live with concerns about heart attacks. There is a great deal of concern about paralysis, which can happen during bedtime at night. If a sudden heart attack occurs during the day, people around you may be able to help. But if everyone wakes up at night, it's very hard for people around them to notice.

If it is out of the first stage emergency determination step (S104), the process proceeds to the second stage emergency determination step (S106) to determine whether or not the second stage emergency situation. In a two-stage emergency, the pulse ranges from more than 20% to less than 30% of the normal value, the characteristic value of body temperature is from more than 10% and less than 15% of the normal value, or the characteristic value of movement is more than 20% of the normal value. For example, this may be one or more of the situations in the range below 30%. When it is determined that the emergency in the second stage is a two-stage alarm (S107) can be executed. As the two-stage alarm action S107, a two-stage alarm sound can be generated and a contact can be made to the contact information of the stored guardian.

The third level of alarm (S108) is an action to be performed when the second level of emergency is out of the range, and the pulse rate is more than 30% of the normal value, the body temperature value is more than 15% of the normal value, or the characteristic value of the movement is 30% of the normal value. It can be executed when one or more of the abnormalities are found.
