IoT Based Hygiene Monitor for Senior Citizens and Mentally Challenged

Abstract

Advancements in medical science and technology, medicine and public health coupled with increased consciousness about nutrition and environmental and personal hygiene have paved the way for the dramatic increase in life expectancy globally in the past several decades. However, increased life expectancy has given rise to an increasing aging population, thus jeopardizing the socio-economic structure of many countries in terms of costs associated with elderly health-care and well- being. In order to deal with the growing need for elderly health-care services, it's essential to develop affordable, unobtrusive and easy-to-use health-care solutions. In this paper, we focused on smart diaper-moisture detection system using IOT. It is a paper based expendable dampness initiated Wi-Fi specialized gadget that could be fused into the conventional cellulose-based diaper. The Wi-Fi enabled sensor unit is done for minimal expense producing, low radiation uses Wi-Fi to send notification to authorized person. There are various approaches to distinguish and quantify dampness where a few models already exist, despite the fact that most strategies require dynamic hardware. When the diaper gets genuinely wet, the dampness sensor turns into source that takes care of an oscillator circuit. The power of the transmitted Wi-Fi connection is far below the levels where it could cause any harm to human.
