Abstract

Today, over 72% of the world-wide population lives beyond the age of 65. Senior care has become one of the single most relevant challenges globally. There are many relevant issues related to monitoring and managing the daily activities of senior citizens. In this study, we will examine the role of advanced activity sensor platform to monitor their daily activity levels. It will assist in understanding the lifestyle of the individual seniors to promote safety and improve the quality of life through measurement of physical strength and independence. We investigate the requirements of wearable technology for the seniors, employing Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensor for senior care. The proposed system includes a wearable device for each senior, Internet of Thing (IoT) receiver environment, smart alert, and cloud-based machine learning algorithm with Application Processing Interface (API) enabled remote Internet access. The primary application of our proposed IMU sensor application includes precise measurement of individual physical activity level.
