Abstract : Elderly individuals often experience serious health issues that need ongoing monitoring of their health and prompt administration of medication to avoid complications. This work introduces an IoT-based Elderly Health Monitoring and Robust Care System which combines biomedical sensors such as an MAX30102 sensor for heart rate and SpO2 monitoring, an ECG sensor to analyze cardiac activity, and an NTC thermistor to measure body temperature with an ESP32 microcontroller, coupled with a servo motor-controlled automatic medicine dispenser for precise administration of drugs. The system transmits collected health data to the cloud for real-time storage, visualization, and anomaly detection, while incorporating an intelligent alert mechanism to immediately notify caregivers or medical professionals when abnormalities are detected. Additionally, a mobile application has been developed to provide an intuitive interface for doctors, caregivers, and patients to view health records and manage prescriptions. The solution presented provides a low-cost, scalable, and secure method of remote care for the elderly through the integration of real-time health tracking with autonomous medication management, hence enhancing early abnormality detection, drug compliance, and healthcare accessibility for the elderly population.
