Abstract: Background:In the digital era monitoring the patient’s health status is more effective and consistent with smart healthcare systems. Smart health care facilitates secure and reliable maintenance of patient data. Sensors, machine learning algorithms, Internet of things, and wireless technology has led to the development of Artificial Intelligence-driven Internet of Things models. Objective:This research study proposes an Artificial Intelligence driven Internet of Things model to monitor Alzheimer’s disease patient condition. The proposed Smart health care system to monitor and alert caregivers of Alzheimer’s disease patients includes different modules to monitor the health parameters of the patients. This study implements the detection of fall episodes using an artificial intelligence model in Python. Methods:The fall detection model is implemented with data acquired from the IMU open dataset. The ensemble machine learning algorithm AdaBoost performs classification of the fall episode and daily life activity using the feature set of each data sample. The common machine learning classification algorithms are compared for their performance on the IMU fall dataset. Results:AdaBoost ensemble classifier exhibits high performance compared to the other machine learning algorithms. The AdaBoost classifier shows 100% accuracy for the IMU dataset. This high accuracy is achieved as multiple weak learners in the ensemble model classify the data samples in the test data accurately. Conclusions:This study proposes a smart healthcare system for monitoring Alzheimer’s disease patients. The proposed model can alert the caregiver in case of fall detection via mobile applications installed in smart devices.
