Innovative healthcare solutions for older people have developed from the fast progress of the Internet of Things (IoT) technology and deep learning (DL). This research proposes a smart aging system that uses IoT devices and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks to track and evaluate geriatric behavior and health. The proposed approach collects real-time health and daily activity data using a wearable, smart home, and ambient sensors. A central platform uses LSTM networks to identify and forecast activity and health variables from collected data. LSTM can capture long-term relationships and patterns in time-series data, making it ideal. By evaluating these patterns, the system may detect abnormal behavior that may indicate health difficulties like falls, chronic diseases, or cognitive impairment. Preliminary findings show that LSTM-based analytics may provide accurate and timely insights to help caregivers and healthcare providers improve health outcomes. By encouraging mobility and preventive health management, the smart aging system improves older quality of life and decreases healthcare costs. To increase predicted accuracy and system dependability, LSTM models will be refined, the dataset expanded, and more health measures will be included.
