Abstract


This paper deals with livelihood monitoring and care assessment of old age people based on internet of things. The usage of electrical and non-electrical home appliances as well as health conditions are monitored by the sensors such as electrical sensor, force sensor, temperature sensor and contact sensor. All sensors are integrated into a common sensor node and sensor data are analyzed to predict wellness parameters. Based on the wellness parameters, the daily activities of elderly people are classified as neither normal nor abnormal. In case of abnormal condition, the automatic alert will be given to nearby hospitals and local care takers for immediate medical assistance. Additionally, the well-being conditions are periodically updated in IoT cloud for real time monitoring. Experiment was conducted and the performance was tested by the prediction of well-being conditions based on usage and non-usage of home appliances. From results, it is inferred that the proposed approach suffices oldage community to lead safe life without fear.
