“…Most of the developed IoT systems focus on healthcare for the elderly, reducing the burden of caregivers, and preventing accidents. Many researchers have developed monitoring systems [18][19][20][21][22][23] to meet these needs, which consist of health data measurement systems [18][19][20] and mobile assistive devices [21][22][23]. Bongisizwe et al [19] designed Healthcare Monitoring Systems (HMSs) using Zigbee to detect heart disease, high blood pressure, and other cardiovascular diseases.…”

“…Micromobility for the elderly requires functional development to meet their needs and to reduce the burden of caregivers, resulting in greater stability and safety. Although the development of devices to monitor elderly health [18][19][20][21][22][23] and to assess air quality [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] will be developed using IoT technology, in which these devices are often permanently installed and unable to track the outdoor activities of the elderly.…”

The ageing society has resulted in imbalances in the population age ratio. The ratio of working-age people was less than that of elderly people resulting in a shortage of elderly caregivers and increased healthcare costs. Although the lifestyle the elderly remains the same, their physical abilities are reduced, requiring them to rely on special equipment when traveling in order to gain more control and safety. Therefore, the Elderly Personal Mobility Device (EPMD) is developed using Internet of Things (IoT) technology to reduce the burden of caregivers, provide freedom and safety for elderly travelers, assess air pollution risks, and alert the occurrence of emergency events. The EPMD is designed in terms of structure, electrical equipment, and sensor systems. First, the shapes, sizes, and thicknesses of the carbon steel used for construction of the EPMD structure are calculated by using SolidWorks software. Next, the electric equipment is carefully selected to meet the requirements of actual use. Finally, the sensor system is designed to monitor the EPMD status and air quality using IoT devices to create a data interface and big data for elderly health service development, as well as an air quality map with distributed measuring stations and a charging station detection system for future use.
