This article presents a method for building a hospital room with extended intelligent features based on Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. We begin by reviewing existing vision-based health care systems and identifying important and useful functions that they should have. We then present a method for building a smart room that allows increase the level of the intelligence of the existing hospital rooms due to extensive use of the up-to-date machine learning methods. The proposed solution assumes using readily available hardware devices to reduce the cost of smart room building. Compared to commercially available assistive technologies, the proposed smart room turn out to have high level of intelligence and to be very cost effective. The system's non-intrusive nature makes it easy to use it both in hospitals and at home for patient care.
