In this paper, a daily activity monitoring system for Internet of Things (IoT)- assisted living in home area networks is proposed in order to provide care for elderly people who live alone. The proposed system consists of two main parts: an IoT-assisted living space with contactless activity sensors, a help trigger, and an emergency gateway and a daily activity monitoring server with a range of components including data collection, event and user management, activity analysis and reporting, and so on. The contactless activity sensors can be placed anywhere in the home, and the emergency gateway collects data from them, detects emergency situations reported through the help trigger, and communicates with the daily activity monitoring server. The server analyzes and reports the daily activities and activity patterns of elderly users using a predefined activity index. In addition, unexpected emergency situations can be estimated and prevented through analysis of the activity information.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. Remote patient monitoring enables the monitoring of patients’ vital signs outside the conventional clinical settings which may increase access to care and decrease healthcare delivery costs. This paper focuses on implementing internet of things in a remote patient medical monitoring system. This was achieved by writing two computer applications in java in which one simulates a mobile phone called the Intelligent Personal Digital Assistant (IPDA) which uses a data structure that includes age, smoking habits and alcohol intake to simulate readings for blood pressure, pulse rate and mean arterial pressure continuously every twenty five which it sends to the server. The second java application protects the patients’ medical records as they travel through the networks by employing a symmetric key encryption algorithm which encrypts the patients’ medical records as they are generated and can only be decrypted in the server only by authorized personnel. The result of this research work is the implementation of internet of things in a remote patient medical monitoring system where patients’ vital signs are generated and transferred to the server continuously without human intervention.

Diabetes merupakan penyakit “silent killer” yang ditandai dengan peningkatan kadar glukosa darahdan kegagalan sekresi insulin. World Health Organization (WHO) pada tahun 2016 menyatakanbahwa diabetes menduduki urutan ke-6 sebagai penyakit mematikan di Indonesia. Sehingga upayapencegahan dan penanganan diabetes perlu mendapat perhatian yang serius. Internet of Things (IoT)dapat dijadikan sarana penunjang dalam penanganan penyakit diabetes. Inovasi ini memungkinkanperangkat perawatan kesehatan terhubung dengan jaringan internet, sehingga data pasien dapatdiperbaharui dan diakses secara real-time. Selain mempermudah akses, penggunaan IoT juga akanmemberikan nilai tambah pada efisiensi biaya pelayanan kesehatan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untukmerancang software sistem monitoring gula darah berbasis web yang terintegrasi dengan IoT,sehingga pasien dapat melakukan pemeriksaan, konsultasi dengan dokter dan melihat data rekammedis dari jarak jauh. Data hasil pemeriksaan akan disimpan didalam cloud dan ditampilkan secaraonline. Penelitian ini menggunakan Node MCU ESP8266 sebagai mikrokontroller yang telahdilengkapi dengan modul WiFi, Thingspeak sebagai cloud, aplikasi online dengan “Diamons” sebagaidashboard yang mampu menampilkan presentasi data grafis, dibangun dengan bahasa HypertextPreprocessor (PHP) sebagai bahasa pemogramannya. Penelitian ini akan melibatkan pihak medisdalam pengambilan keputusan. Umpan balik yang diberikan kepada pasien berupa anjuran sepertiresep obat, pola makan, dan kegiatan fisik yang harus dilakukan oleh pasien.

AbstractIn recent years, the demographic change in conjunction with a lack of professional caregivers led to retirement homes reaching capacity. The Alzheimer Disease International stated that over 50 million people suffered from dementia in 2019 worldwide and twice the amount will presumably be effected in 2030. The field of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) tackles this problem by facilitating technical system-aided everyday life. AUXILIA is such an AAL system and does not only support elderly people with dementia in an early phase, but also monitors their activities to provide behaviour analysis results for care attendants, relatives and physicians. Moreover, the system is capable of recognizing emergency situations like human falls. Furthermore, sleep quality estimation is employed to be able to draw conclusions about the current behaviour of an affected person. This article presents the current development state of AUXILIA.
