Abstract
In response to the increasing aging population, various initiatives aim to enhance the well-being of the elderly by addressing factors like physical and mental health, comorbid conditions, isolation, and relationships. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) systems have been developed to allow seniors to maintain independence, live comfortably at home, and enjoy better overall health. Internet of Things (IoT) systems, in particular, offer continuous remote surveillance, increased social engagement, improved sensory experiences, and support for an active lifestyle. This study proposes a framework for a unified IoT-based Smart Sensor system (IoT-SS) designed to discreetly observe and assist the elderly, complementing the care provided by trained medical professionals. The quality of life is crucial for the elderly, motivating them to stay resilient. The article introduces IoT and its application in improving seniors' health and quality of life in their homes and communities. This review is valuable for medical system developers and programmers working on technology-supported healthcare plans to serve and enhance the lives of the elderly in the future.
Keywords: Quality Of Life, Internet of Things, Smart sensor, Health monitoring, Elderly people.
