IoT interoperability enhances smart and healthy living

The Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized the way we interact with the world around us. Ultimately, the goal of IoT interoperability is to be more accessible. By enabling different devices to work together, we can unlock the power of the IoT and create more competent, efficient, and secure environments, the smart spaces. With innovative technologies in place, interoperability will help bring the future of the IoT within reach. Cultivating smart and healthy living using IoT is an essential goal for individuals and communities to strive toward. In this chapter, we approach older individuals’ lives from a smart and healthy perspective, aiming to maximize the potential to improve their quality of life (QoL). The primary focus is on identifying and improving deficiencies in adherence to treatments of older adults living at home with diabetes and high blood pressure. Digital solutions were deployed to monitor older individuals’ health conditions, enabling early identification of potentially harmful situations such as hyper/hypoglycemic episodes or hypertension. Experimental results show that we can equip healthcare providers with remote monitoring and real-time data visualization through graphs to interpret abnormal vital values in real time.
