IoT-Based Smart Mat System for Remote Monitoring System of User

Abstract

In today's aging society, the need for effective health care for the elderly living alone is increasing enormously. Therefore, it is required to establish a system to cope with daily health check and emergency situation. Of various requirements, sleep is the most important part of health since we spend 1/4 of a days's time for sleep. Accordingly, healthy sleep management and periodic confirmation of sleep are the most important. In this article, we propose an IoT-based Smart Mat with multiple sensors connected for remote monitoring of the elderly living alone or healthcare users and a system model that can collect data on bedtime, wakeup time, and sleep quality, and develop the recorded contents through it and send them to the smartphone application of the guardians in real time for remote monitoring.
