IoT system for monitoring vital signs of elderly population
The leading cause of death of elderly Europeans (over 65 years) is heart diseases [1]. Adding up to that, there is also the fact that 30% of elderly people encounter unintentional falls each year, and most of them are fatal [2]. Our paper describes the concept and architecture of a system which is able to monitor the body's vital signs, pre-process the data, generate emergency alerts and use the power of cloud machine learning to predict medical states.
