IoT-Enabled Health Monitoring System for Elderly Care

Abstract

The goal of this project is to create and implement a complete hardware model for ongoing health monitoring. Through the use of specialized sensors, the system monitors critical health factors like blood pressure, temperature, sweat, oxygen saturation, heart rate, and patient falls. Medical practitioners and the patient's family can access the information through the wireless transmission of data points to a central database using Internet of Things technology. The research entailed designing a user-friendly data access interface, establishing the wireless transmission protocol, and choosing and integrating the proper sensors. With real-time vital sign monitoring available from anywhere, the system is specially designed with senior patients in mind. It also has an emergency alert mechanism that will swiftly contact the appropriate authorities. This research facilitates effective patient monitoring and aids healthcare professionals in overseeing several patients.
