IoT Health Status Monitoring System for Elderly People

The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the most promising technologies with highly application in healthcare. In this context the work presents a mobile IoT compatible solution to optimize the remote assessment process using non-intrusive measurement devices embedded on the level of Fitbit smartwatch. The developed system that includes the smartwatch provides information about health status and motor activity of the patients that is available and accessible anywhere and anytime. A framework for continuous monitoring of physical activity based on smartwatch devices is described in the paper. A hybrid mobile application and a software structure assembled to support the processes of data collection, processing, storage, and display are part of developed framework. Preliminary results are included in the paper.
