Description
SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR. MONITORING ENVIRONMENT OF USER HOUSEHOLD
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present disclosure relates generally to Internet of Things (IoT) technology; and more specifically, to systems and methods for monitoring environment of a user household having IoT devices.
BACKGROUND
With the evolution of internet technologies data transfer has become very convenient. Due to such development internet technologies have been implemented in various fields, such as smart grids, smart home appliances, etc. Currently, internet technologies are used in high quality medical services. In such services, physiological data from a user (such as a patient) residing in home care/health service centres/household is transmitted to a centralized location. Furthermore, at this centralized location, a single or small number of technicians monitor all of this patient information to determine patient status. Additionally, in an event wherein information indicate an alarming condition of a patient/person the technicians and/or system communicate with local care givers to provide immediate patient attention, for example via wireless pagers and/or cell phones, and/or by making a facility-wide audio page.
However, implementing such centralized monitoring systems may include a number of difficulties. Typically, in such centralized monitoring systems, the devices are capable of wirelessly communicating data to a centralized unit. Furthermore, in such arrangement the centralized unit is burdened with the normalization and processing of the data provided by the devices. Such kind of data management requires more time for the centralized unit to determine the condition of the patent, and subsequently notify a care-giver. Additionally, at times such centralized monitoring system is unreliable, unpopular, fundamentally limited in utility and is vulnerable to hacking. Furthermore, in such centralized monitoring systems devices need to be attached to the patient for monitoring, such arrangements may create obstruction for the patient to perform daily activities. Moreover such system is expensive and is difficult to utilize without the guidance of trained personal, especially for the older demographic.
