dc.description.abstractThis project aims a designing a real-time remote health monitoring system for a home of elder persons utilizing LoRa technology. The system focuses continuous monitoring and real-time analysis of vital body parameters; the heart rate, body temperature and body tilt position. It ensures the well-being and the safety of the elder persons. By utilizing LoRa, the system is able to transmit health data from the heart rate circuit, the tilt sensor and the temperature sensor wirelessly for a long distance of about 15km. LoRa technology is chosen because of its long-range capabilities, low power consumption and its ability to penetrate obstacles. The LoRa communication modules act as gateways, receiving health data from the elder person and relaying it to the database on the laptop of the medical personnel. At the database, the received health data is processed, analyzed and stored. The dashboard provides user- friendly interface for the medical personnel to access and monitor real-time health status of the individuals under their care. The proposed system offers several advantages, including the ability to remotely monitor the health status of the elder person, reducing frequent hospital visits and congestion at the hospitals, early detection of health issues. It also provides continuous monitoring of chronic conditions, enabling personalized care and treatment plans. Additionally, the utilization of LoRa technology ensures reliable and secure data transmission, maintaining privacy and data integrity.en_US
