The increasing elderly population presents significant challenges for healthcare systems, necessitating innovative solutions for continuous health monitoring. This study develops and validates an IoT-based elderly monitoring system designed to enhance the quality of life for elderly people. The system features a robust Android-based user interface integrated with the Firebase cloud platform, ensuring real-time data collection and analysis. In addition, a supervised machine learning technology is implemented to conduct prediction task of the observed user whether in "stable" or "not stable" condition based on real-time parameter.
The system architecture adopts the IoT layer including physical layer, network layer, and application layer. Device validation is conducted by involving six participants to measure the real-time data of heart-rate, oxygen saturation, and body temperature, then analysed by mean average percentage error (MAPE) to define error rate. A comparative experiment is conducted to define the optimal supervised machine learning model to be deployed into the system by analysing evaluation metrics. Meanwhile, the user satisfaction aspect evaluated by the terms of usability, comfort, security, and effectiveness.
IoT-based elderly health monitoring system has been constructed with a MAPE of 0.90% across the parameters: heart-rate (1.68%), oxygen saturation (0.57%), and body temperature (0.44%). In machine learning experiment indicates XGBoost model has the optimal performance based on the evaluation metrics of accuracy and F1 score which generates 0.973 and 0.970, respectively. In user satisfaction aspect based on usability, comfort, security, and effectiveness achieving a high rating of 86.55%.
This system offers practical applications for both elderly users and caregivers, enabling real-time monitoring of health conditions. Future enhancements may include integration with artificial intelligence technologies such as machine learning and deep learning to predict health conditions from data patterns, further improving the system's capabilities and effectiveness in elderly care.
老年人口的不断增加给医疗保健系统带来了重大挑战,因此需要创新的解决方案来进行持续的健康监测。本研究开发并验证了一种基于物联网的老年监测系统,旨在提高老年人的生活质量。该系统具有一个强大的基于安卓的用户界面,并与Firebase云平台集成,可确保实时数据收集和分析。此外,还实施了一种监督式机器学习技术,以根据实时参数对观察到的用户处于“稳定”或“不稳定”状态进行预测任务。
系统架构采用物联网层,包括物理层、网络层和应用层。通过让六名参与者测量心率、血氧饱和度和体温的实时数据来进行设备验证,然后通过平均百分比误差(MAPE)进行分析以确定错误率。通过分析评估指标进行对比实验,以确定要部署到系统中的最佳监督式机器学习模型。同时,从可用性、舒适性、安全性和有效性方面评估用户满意度。
已构建基于物联网的老年健康监测系统,各参数的平均百分比误差为0.90%,其中心率为1.68%,血氧饱和度为0.57%,体温为0.44%。机器学习实验表明,基于准确率和F1分数的评估指标,XGBoost模型具有最佳性能,分别为0.973和0.970。在基于可用性、舒适性、安全性和有效性的用户满意度方面,获得了86.55%的高评分。
该系统为老年用户和护理人员提供了实际应用,能够实时监测健康状况。未来的改进可能包括与机器学习和深度学习等人工智能技术集成,以便从数据模式中预测健康状况,进一步提高系统在老年护理方面的能力和有效性。
