Abstract:
Healthcare systems face major issues as the population ages, especially when it comes to managing and monitoring the health of the elderly. With the potential to enhance patient outcomes and lessen healthcare costs, Internet of Things (IoT) technology has emerged as a promising solution for ongoing, real-time health monitoring of senior citizens. In order to monitor the health of the elderly, this research proposes a comprehensive IoT framework that recognizes important physiological and environmental factors. Heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, mobility, and ambient environmental conditions are some of these parameters. To continuously monitor these characteristics, the framework makes use of cutting-edge IoT sensors, data gathering, and transmission technologies. It also incorporates fog computing to improve the system's real-time processing, analysis, and decision-making capabilities. Fog computing reduces latency, maximizes bandwidth utilization, and guarantees quicker response times by processing data closer to the edge—all of which are essential for senior care. In order to provide better health outcomes for the elderly by guaranteeing prompt treatments, early detection of health abnormalities, and individualized care management, this study investigates the synergistic coupling of IoT and fog computing. The scalability, adaptability, and efficacy of the suggested framework in providing useful insights are assessed. Overall, this study offers a comprehensive strategy to monitoring the health of the elderly, highlighting the necessity of an integrated, real-time, and effective system to handle the particular healthcare issues raised by the aging population.
