Smart Care: Body Area Sensor Network Conceptual Architecture For Elderly And Non-Critical Patient Care

People with disabilities, the elderly, those who are sick, and children all need assistance. Staying with them 24 hours a day, seven days a week is impractical, and it also has an effect on the care receiver's psyche, making them feel overly reliant. Various architectures have been proposed, but none of them discuss generalization, feasibility questions, which are important for any care seeker, and also lacks focus on elderly people and non-critical patients care. As a result, an accessible, efficient architecture that allows our loved ones, especially the elderly and non-critical patients, to live healthier lives is required. It is important for health practitioners to be able to monitor the body status of those receiving care in real-time and to provide them with timely input on their health. As a result, the proposed generalizable architecture recognizes all stakeholders, as well as vital signs in the human body. Consolidates all of them into an IoT-based smart care infrastructure comprising a non-invasive hybrid body area sensor networks supported by cloud computing platforms, machine learning, and data analytics models, with the aim of assisting in the provision of high-quality, low-cost care to the elderly and non-critical patients. Finally, the design was validated through a survey and professional consultation with 45 experts, who agreed with the proposed architecture 82.2 percent of the time.
