Tracker solution for old age homes

The IoT depends on a whole host of technologies such as application programming interfaces (APIs) that connect devices to the Internet. Other key IoT technologies are Big Data management tools, predictive analytics, AI and machine learning, the cloud, and radiofrequency identification (RFID). Cloud-based IoT platforms and architecture connect the real and virtual worlds. They help companies manage IoT device connectivity and security – as well as collect device data, link devices to backend systems, ensure IoT interoperability, and build and run IoT applications. One of the biggest benefits of the IoT is the efficiency it can offer. Many companies are using it to automate business and manufacturing processes, remotely monitor and control operations, optimise supply chains, and conserve resources. In this work we are proposing a tracking and monitoring system based on IoT which is capable of sending sos message with information such as location, device id, type of service etc. It is simply a handheld device with emergency switches, GSM/cellular connectivity and GPS+GNSS module. The switch will send message to necessary services like police, ambulance and support services such as food and medicine. This project is intended to develop a web backend for the proposed system which provide interactive api for users, must provide an administrator privilege account and automatic tracking and updating of device and location. The device is powered by our embedded OS and connected to our backend that provide the requirements.The IoT connectivity is achieved by GPRS module along with Real Time Operating System. The periodic report like a battery, range, location from corresponding sensors should be uploaded to the server. To employ encryption and authentication, adopted Public key cryptography which makes the data highly secure. The data is encrypted and send to server. In server the data is decrypted. The decrypted data then parsed and send to django backend in json format.
