Development of a Healthcare Internet of Things (IoT) using a Raspberry Pi-based Platform

As senior numbers continue to grow so do the healthcare costs. In order to aid hospitals and senior care facilities in managing the health of seniors many new sensors are being developed with the aim of increasing operational efficiencies, reducing health care costs and improving the health of older adults by reducing risk factors that can result health related problems. Several sensor prototypes are being developed, such as portable, wearable motion tracking devices that allow for the continuous monitoring of an individual in order to predict early diagnosis of a chronic condition that may lead to an acute event such as a fall. The output from these various sensors need to be collected and monitored and interpreted, which is the focus of this project.
