Recent discovered technologies have exposed many new theories and possibilities to improve our standard of living. Medical assistance has been a major research topic in the past, many efforts were put in to simplify the process of following treatment prescriptions. This paper summarizes the work done in developing LoRa driven medical adherence system in order to improve medicine adherence for elderlies. The designed system is composed of two sections; embedded hardware device for the use of patients at home and Web application to manage all patients along with their medicines and keep track of their medicine intake history. LoRa wireless communication technology is used for connecting all embedded devices with a central gateway that manages the network. Hardware and software tests have been conducted and showed great performance in terms of LoRa network range and latency. In short, the proposed system shows promising method of improving medicine adherence.
The Internet of Things (IoT) has the capability to change our lives. In the near future, every device and almost every object will be linked together and connected to the internet. This paper summarizes the work done in developing a Long Range (LoRa) driven home security system for a residential community in a retirement township. Both hardware and software solutions were used to provide emergency alerts. A panic button was developed to generate alarms manually and embedded sensors were implemented to generate alarms automatically. LoRa wireless communication technology was used to connect all hardware devices in the network and to forward all these data to be stored in the server. A mobile application was developed to provide an alternative way of generating manual emergency alerts and to provide a communication channel in the form of a chat room for residents of the same community as well as the security guards. A web application was developed for residential area security management, where administrators can register new residential areas and assign security guards to these residential areas accordingly.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
