A STUDY ON SMART IOT FRAMEWORK FOR ELDERLY CARE AND HEALTH MONITORING

Abstract

The Elderly Care System is an IoT-based healthcare monitoring solution designed to ensure the safety and well-being of elderly individuals through continuous real-time supervision. With the rising aging population highlighted by the World Health Organization, there is an increasing need for smart healthcare systems that enable senior citizens to live independently while remaining under medical observation. This project addresses that need by developing an intelligent system capable of monitoring vital health parameters and detecting emergencies. The system integrates multiple health and motion sensors with a microcontroller-based IoT platform to collect, process, and transmit data. It measures blood oxygen levels (SpO₂), body temperature, and heart rate, while also incorporating motion tracking and fall detection. The collected data is displayed locally and transmitted wirelessly to caregivers, enabling remote monitoring and continuous supervision.By detecting abnormal conditions such as irregular heart rate, temperature variations, low oxygen levels, or sudden falls, the system generates instant alerts for prompt medical intervention. This proactive approach enhances emergency response, minimizes health risks, and improves the overall quality of life for elderly individuals. The proposed system demonstrates the effective application of IoT technology in delivering a reliable, cost-effective, and efficient healthcare monitoring solution.
