IoT based Health Monitoring and Activity Detection for Elderly Care

Abstract

It is very important to monitor the health condition and activity of the elderly people especially when they are living alone or due to reduced connection with their children and relatives. To automate the elder s activity monitoring, we developed an IoTbased (Internet of Things) health monitoring system with integrating various technologies of wearable and non-wearable devices that are connected to the wireless communication network. Heart rate sensor is wearable and fixd PIR sensors used for find the location. All sensors will communicate and send data to a cloud storage through a home Wi-Fi network. In this system, doctors or guardians can be monitoring elders heart rate and able to track their real-time location through the data given by the sensors when they are living alone at home. Also, these data will be recorded in a remote IoT cloud. Thus these data can be used for data-driven predictions. Mobile app use for monitor the real-time health condition as well as actual location of the patient in the home. Also this app configured to push the notification when abnormal conditions are detected.
