Description
Summary:With the non-stop increasing aging population in Singapore, the potential of elderly falling increases, leading to more serious consequences due to the frail frames of these elderly. This project is geared towards building a smart living system centered around the Bluetooth architecture to provide real time monitoring of possible falls in the elderly and alert caregivers. Utilizing advances in IOT and Bluetooth Mesh technology, was aimed to provide a cost effective, low-powered, maintenance free interface and secure architecture that can be easily deployed. The Nordic Thingy:52 MCU, attached with external pressure sensors pads was selected to work in tandem with the Raspberry Pi 4 that served as the server and Mesh provisioning tool linking up the numerous Thingy: 52s and processing the data collected.
