A Novel Remote Monitoring Smart System for the Elderly using Internet of Things

With the profligate enhancement in the Internet of Things (IoT), people are able to diligently connect, communicate and remotely monitor and control devices via the Internet. This stupendous advancement has become a boon in solving everyday problems in the Healthcare Industry, through Medical Internet of Things (M-IoT). In the present-day scenario, one of the pressing challenges surfacing is to provide a holistic and self-reliant healthcare system designed for the elderly. This emphasizes a single and reliable system that could effectively cater to the requirements of senior citizens who need some health assistance with everyday activities. This paper proposes a user-friendly app-based solution that collects real-time information and defines a pervasive cost-effective system developed with the aid of sensors and Internet of Things. A survey of fever symptoms is done for people aged above 50 years and Machine Learning analysis is performed to recognize the best model. The proposed system thus keenly aims to keep the family members well-informed about the patient.
