A health
monitoring system for the autonomous support of
elderly people, the
system comprising the following: a variety of Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) sensors, including at least one wearable physiological sensor, one or more
environmental sensor units, a mobility tracking device and a medication intake module, wherein the IoMT sensors are configured to continuously collect physiological, environmental, behavioral and
medication use data; an edge
processing device that includes an embedded processor and a lightweight
machine learning
inference unit configured to perform real-time
anomaly detection and generate local alerts in the absence of cloud
connectivity; a cloud-based analytics engine comprising one or more
deep learning models configured to perform longitudinal health modeling,
population-level clustering, and predictive
risk forecasting using historical and real-
time data; and a multi-channel
communication unit configured to securely transmit notifications, reports, and emergency triggers to
nursing staff,
clinical staff, family members, and emergency services, wherein the edge
processing device includes a dedicated hardware accelerator selected from a field-programmable
gate array (FPGA), the accelerator being optimized to perform low-latency computations, including
fall detection,
arrhythmia detection, and respiratory
abnormality monitoring, within a
processing window of less than 200 milliseconds;and wherein the wearable physiological sensor is designed as a
wrist-worn or patch-based device comprising a set of sensor elements, including an
electrocardiography (ECG)
electrode, a photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor for SpO2 measurement, a three-axis
accelerometer, a
gyroscope, and a
skin temperature probe, the device further being configured to integrate raw
signal data streams through a multimodal fusion technique performed locally on the
edge device to minimize
noise, compensate for
motion artifacts, and improve the specificity of
anomaly detection across multiple concurrent parameters.
