This project demonstrates the design,suggestions and implementation of an IoT based elder monitoring system to give elder independence and eliminate the burden of caregivers. The system is divided into two subsystems one of which is centered around ESP32 which is designed for the elders. The subsystem collects data from several sensors which are audio amplifier and speaker MAX98357A for reminding medications, NEO 6M GPS module for tracking patients live location, ADH8232 ECG sensor for recording heart activities, MPU 6050 features accelerometer and gyroscope for giving insights about the patient’s state, and an OLED display for giving feedback.Also, FreeRTOS is used to manage the tasks and let them run concurrently and manage the limited memory of the microcontroller with built in functions. On the other hand, the other subsystem have utilized laravel framework to design a backend website where RESTFUL api’s and MQTT are created to establish communication between the two subsystems and a GUI to enhance the accessibility for the caregivers. However, caregivers can manage their patients by tracking their live location or updating their medication schedule. This report goes through the nuances of the system architecture,development, and recommendation.
