CarePro: A Complete Arduino and Android-based Elderly Care Health and Security Monitoring System

Security and rising health issues among the grey population are matters of concern for every family member. All aged persons need high supervision to make their daily life secured. Hence a project entitled "CarePro" has been developed. The principal objective of this project is to build a device to keep track of health and security factors for everyone, especially elderly persons. The CarePro band is a unique Arduino-based IoT device. It is also synchronized with an android-based application named CarePro app. The app can be used by both the user and their family members. It generates timely alerts, including regular medicines reminders, online medicine orders, emergency doctor calls, and message services. The band possesses an inbuilt GPS, GSM module, and SOS feature. It also measures heartbeat rate, body temperature by sensors. The measured data are continuously stored and updated in Google firebase via the CarePro app for further analysis. Different user tracking techniques of the CarePro app generate actionable insights, which are very useful for the safety of an individual, like 1) local tracking for close-range monitoring of the people at home, especially those who are suffering from diseases like Alzheimer and 2) remote Tracking & GPS Tracking for long-range monitoring of the users when they are outside. This project reduces the chances of generating any adverse situation by constant health and security monitoring of an individual.
