IoT for Elderly, Aging and eHealth 
Quality of Life and Independent Living for the Elderly

This book reflects the recent developments while providing a comprehensive introduction to the Internet of things (Io T) and cloud technologies in transforming aging. Io T has its origins in device connectivity, whereas the cloud grew out of computer science. They can be viewed as two facets of the same field, and together they have undergone substantial development over the past ten years. This book is aimed at advanced undergraduates or first-year research students, as well as researchers and practitioners, and assumes no previous knowledge of Io T and cloud concepts. Basics of computer applications and concepts are required. Some familiarity with gerontechnology would be helpful, though not essential, as this book includes a self-contained introduction to how technology is transforming elderly care and e Health management. This book aims to give references that offer more detail than is possible here and hopefully provide an entry point into a series of technologies that can improve thequality of life for the elderly. The book includes several case studies explaining how each piece of technology works and its benefits to the elderly. This book is also considered as a simple guide to the technologies for the elderly to use in the community.
