The Butler platform has three levels of implementation: diagnosis (mood monitoring, alert system, management reports), therapy (training in inducing positive moods, memory work), and entertainment (e-mail, chat, video, photo albums, music, friend forums, accessibility to the Internet). The objective of this work is to describe the psychological aspects of the platform and to present data obtained from four users. Results show that after using the system, the participants increased their positive emotions and decreased their negative ones; in addition, they obtained high levels of satisfaction and experienced little difficulty in using the system. Introduction A n increase in life expectancy and a decrease in birth rates are resulting in an increasingly aging population, especially in those countries that are part of the so-called ‘‘first world.’’ In 2000, 6.9% of the world’s population (421 million) were 65 years old or more, and estimates indicate that by 2050, this percentage will be 16.1% (1465 million) 1 This demo- graphic transition is changing the concept of old age; no longer is it characterized by retirement, illness, inactivity, or isolation; rather, it is increasingly considered merely a further step in the life cycle, with its own characteristics and varia- tions. Researchers are paying increasing attention to how manipulation of environments and lifestyles can influence how we age. Another consequence of the new demographic distribution is an overload on the health care system. Ac- cording to The State of Aging and Health, 2 psychological problems in the elderly are poised to become a major public health issue because they will involve an increase in the de- mand for and costs of health services. Regarding the morbid characteristics of the elderly population, several studies in- dicate the importance of symptoms and depressive disorders. For example, Yaffe et al. 3 found that depressive symptoms in older people are associated with poor cognitive function and greater cognitive decline. Katon et al. 4 also indicated that the presence of depressive symptoms in the elderly correlates with a significant increase in health care demands, compared with people without depressive problems. In a similar vein, Ganguli et al 5 found that depression was one of the best predictors of mortality in the elderly population. Evidently, when depression is undetected or inadequately treated, it has serious consequences, which could even be fatal. Significantly, this population shift coincides with the tech- nological revolution of the 21st century, which is redefining how people communicate with and relate to each other. In- formation and communication technologies (ICTs) increase the speed of everyday life while helping satisfy myriad de- mands; while this is very rewarding to those who enjoy the benefits of ICTs, it also segregates and excludes those who cannot understand the rules of this ‘‘new world.’’ Social in- teractions are increasingly channeled through iCare: A Mobile Health Monitoring System for the Elderly Ziyu Lv, Feng Xia, Guowei Wu, Lin Yao, Zhikui Chen School of Software Dalian University of Technology Dalian 116620, China e-mail: f.xia@ieee.org Abstract—This paper describes a mobile health monitoring system called iCare for the elderly. We use wireless body sensors and smart phones to monitor the wellbeing of the elderly. It can offer remote monitoring for the elderly anytime anywhere and provide tailored services for each person based on their personal health condition. When detecting an emergency, the smart phone will automatically alert pre- assigned people who could be the old people's family and friends, and call the ambulance of the emergency centre. It also acts as the personal health information system and the medical guidance which offers one communication platform and the medical knowledge database so that the family and friends of the served people can cooperate with doctors to take care of him/her. The system also features some unique functions that cater to the living demands of the elderly, including regular reminder, quick alarm, medical guidance, etc. iCare is not only a real-time health monitoring system for the elderly, but also a living assistant which can make their lives more convenient and comfortable.

INTRODUCTION The aging people in the contemporary society have brought great pressure and many seniors have been living alone without anyone accompanied because their offspring are busy with work and have to struggle with severe competition. For those seniors who live independently in their own homes, there is an increasing risk of falls and strokes which could threaten their lives. A lot of money and research effort has been spent on making people aware of the warning signs [1]. Getting the elderly to recognize the warning signs is not easy. And it indicates that people who have had a heart attack have a sudden death rate that is 4 to 6 times that of the general population [2]. The New England Journal of Medicine draws a conclusion that the chances of surviving a fall, heart attack or stroke are six times greater if the elderly get help within an hour. Therefore, the elderly with no one accompanied need real-time monitoring to reduce the anxiety of them and the risk of accidents. However, the financial and staffing cost of caring for the increasing numbers of aged persons in nursing homes or hospitals will be a huge challenge. In this background, a very worthy and challenging issue is how to provide the elderly with the real-time, long-term and nonintrusive assisted living and remote healthcare services. With the development of the technologies such as mobile computing, distributed computing and wireless sensor network, it is possible to provide the elderly with healthcare services that can monitor the elderly anytime anywhere. Various wireless communication motes cooperate with medical sensors to support healthcare and monitor people's health, especially the elderly suffering from diabetes, high blood pressure or heart disease [3]. For instance, in Australia, Pro Medicus makes a success of IT Healthcare [4]. It develops one secure intelligent system for transmitting medical results to doctors. CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION OF THE STUDY ON FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS ACCOUNTING FOR NON-FINANCIAL FIRMS IN VIETNAM 1.1 Necessities Vietnam is integrating more intensively and extensively into the global economy, demonstrated by the vigorous flows of capital, technology and products in and out of the country. Numerous foreign companies are investing in Vietnamese market; they formulate financial reports in accordance to international standards. On the other hand, Vietnamese companies are promoting export and establishing their business overseas; thus, they are put under a tighter supervision and must comply with international standards in formulating financial reports. According to the international accounting standards, financial instruments accounting (FIA) must comply with requirements of IAS32 on the “presentation of financial instrument”; IAS39 on the “recognition and measurement of financial instruments” and IFRS7 on the “disclosure of financial instrument information”. Vietnam has not yet succeeded in formulating a systematic standard for FIA. Instead, the regulations on the practice of FIA are scattered in several set of standards such as VAS01, VAS10, VAS16, etc. This situation are causing several difficulties in managing and standardizing the information, as well as in implementing accounting practices in a financial market with the operation of derivatives such as forwards, futures, swaps, options. Meanwhile, the corporate accounting for non-financial firms does not address FIA, resulting in the confusion and inconsistence in the reporting of firms’ financial situation, affecting the trustworthiness and comparativeness of the indexes in the financial reports. Based on the actual demand of businesses, investors’ requirement for information disclosure and the needs of the accounting profession in the context of integration, the author choose to work on the topic “Completing the Financial instruments accounting for non-financial firms in Vietnam” for the PhD. thesis. 1.2 Overview of research context 1.2.1 International research on FIA 1.2.1.1 Identification of financial instruments Most of the studies agree on the main features of a financial instrument, which 1 is a contract binding parties; the instrument implies both right (assets) and obligation (liabilities) in accordance with the contract; depending on the contract, the payment instrument can be exchanged directly or indirectly. 1.2.1.2 Measurement of financial instruments The scientific circle highlights the advantage of the fair value accounting, which still remains a new concept to Vietnamese accounting, particularly FIA. This motivates the author to study the fair value accounting to find a solution in order to complete the FIA for non-financial firms in Vietnam. 1.2.1.3 Recognition of financial instruments The recognition of financial instruments depends on the classification of the instruments. L.EC.Wilson & Bryan (1997) asserts that it is necessary to formulate accounting principles on financial instruments based on their purposes rather than imposing each instrument with specific principles, so that new instruments can be employed to ensure the usefulness of information and, at the same time, minimize the cost of establishing new principles. 1.2.1.3 Presentation of financial instrument Financial instruments are becoming more and more complicated since instruments are hybridized, for example: convertible bond, preferred dividend (possessing the characteristics of both liabilities and equity); new types of derivatives (hybridizing the derivatives), hybrid instrument with embedded derivatives, etc. Hence, the recognition of financial instruments becomes more difficult accordingly. 1.2.1.4 Information disclosure of financial instruments Financial instruments are becoming more and more diversifying and complicated; thus, the requirement for disclosure of information is also getting harsh.
