In today’s world, the problem of taking care of elderly people in their old age is just important and tedious as of taking care of a child, but the time and requirements are not available for everyone. The proposed project is developed in such a way that all the required monitoring is done automatically and the data reports and required suggestions are sent to the caretakers. The aim of the proposed IoT based smart bed system is to assist caretakers in helping elderly people who feel difficulty in taking care of themselves. Different sensors are used to measure the heart rate, temperature, blood pressure, and wetness. Raspberry Pi is used to interface with all the sensors. Raspberry Pi collects all the sensor data. These sensor data are given to the recommender system. Based on these sensors' data, the recommender system produces the output. For example, if the heart rate is high and blood pressure is low, the system tells that body needs oxygen, and this output is sent to the server, and an alert is sent to the caretakers to take further actions. The total setup of the hardware is so compact that it provides the elderly people as if a normal bed and also additional monitors can be set up for enabling an easy view of the sensor readings. The prototype of the bed is developed and the readings are viewed using a web server.
