Abstract

Most of the elderly citizens are either living by themselves or locked up at home when the rest of the family members go to work. Health of the elderly deteriorates gradually with age, but people fail to notice these changes in everyday life. The elderly are at risk of not receiving attention immediately in the case of emergencies. Internet of things can be used to alert family members and health personnel immediately when an abnormality in the elderly person's health is sensed to prevent discovery of illness at an irrecoverable stage. Internet of things can monitor parameters like heart pulse rate, body temperature, body movement, position, and location, and raise an alert to take immediate preventive actions. Making this system portable is one of the most necessary requirements because it will be worn by the user. That introduces various conditions in itself. For instance, the system should not disturb the patient or be heavy.
