A Helping Hand to the Elderly: Securing Their Freedom through the HAIE Framework

Abstract

The life expectancy of the elderly has substantially increased compared to earlier times. The primary factors are greater awareness of nutrition, the environment, and personal hygiene. Advances in science and technology have also extended the lifespans of the aging population. Traditional care methods are inadequate to address this situation. To maintain the socioeconomic structure, there is a need for the integration of advanced frameworks. In this context, we propose a smart framework called human activity Internet of Things-enabled environment (HAIE) to provide a non-human assistive environment that helps the elderly live independently. Research into aging in place and assistive environments has focused on modernized environments, largely neglecting the impact of technology on the lives of elderly individuals who stay at home. This work addresses the gap by integrating advanced technologies, such as cloud computing and the Internet of Things (IoT). The inclusion of IoT facilitates a smart and automated environment for the elderly. Cloud integration enables the storage of large volumes of data for further analysis and the identification of patterns for future advancements. It also introduces the concept of accessing data from anywhere, on any device, at any time. To validate this work, two primary parameters were considered: accuracy and latency. Through simulation, the proposed HAIE model has demonstrated an accuracy of 93% out of 100 attempts and a latency of 84.35 ms for the deployed case studies under the HAIE framework.

A Review on Mitigating Privacy Risks in IoT-Enabled Smart Homes

“…Ensuring that security measures do not adversely affect the devices' total energy consumption may be achieved by researching and creating energyefficient security mechanisms for smart home devices. Legal and Moral Consequences: It is anticipated that there will be 30 billion IoT-connected devices by 2025, up from the approximately 11 billion that existed in 2020 [11]. Consequently, the quantity of private data that is regularly transferred to the cloud has increased along with the rise in the usage of smart devices.…”

Logistics Distribution Route Optimization in Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things Environment

“…In recent years, many scholars have adopted advanced calculation methods and techniques in the field of logistics distribution route optimization. The study of Bhalotia et al, [1] emphasized the versatility and adaptability of AI and IoT technologies in practical applications, which is particularly important for the study of logistics distribution route optimization. In the field of logistics distribution, AI can be used to analyze and predict the flow of goods and traffic conditions, while IoT devices can monitor the location and status of goods in real time, and the combination of the two provides the possibility to improve logistics efficiency and accuracy.…”
