Monitoring patients suffering from restless leg syndrome (RLS) using IoT

Restless legs syndrome is a common neurological disorder that is often not diagnosed. It causes unusual symptoms that usually happen in the evening and at night. This can lead to problems with sleep and daily activities. It presents in different ways and can be more serious for certain groups of patients. It is important to accurately diagnose and treat this disorder. It can be difficult to figure out if someone has restless legs syndrome, especially kids and old people. Therefore, this study aims to present a tool for monitoring abnormal movements related to restless leg syndrome. An IOT-based platform with “ESP32” board and “MPU6050” module with the “Online Web server” method are used to monitor the movements. The designed platform accurately detects any vibrations and movements associated with this syndrome without any wired or complicated hardware connected to the person. This IOT based online monitoring system proved effective and can be used for long-term monitoring.
