IoT-Based Healthcare Support System for Alzheimer’s Patients

الملخص EN

In the last decade, the Internet of Things (IoT) has become a new technology that aims to facilitate life and help people in all aspects of their lives.

This technology is used for smart homes, smart grid stations, smart agriculture, health systems, transport services, smart cities, etc.

The number of sensors and IoT devices along with applications is used for monitoring the health condition of patients.

These devices will monitor the movement of targeted patients at home or out of their homes.

Based on their behavior and movement, the treatment will be provided to Alzheimer’s patients.

The data will be collected from multiple sensors installed at patient’s homes and smartwatches for checking their blood pressure level and temperature, which is too important in the current Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic for these types of patients.

On the other hand, due to the diminishing mobility of people around the world, increasing environmental pollution and stress which is caused by modern machine life and various brain and neurological diseases including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson, etc.

are widespread among people all over the world.

The different types of communication protocols such as Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT) and WebSocket (with authentication and autoclosing of connection) for sensors and the smartwatch have been used.

The secure backend admin panel is used for tracing the location of doctors, patients, and ambulance.

These protocols are implemented with security to protect the privacy of patients also.
