Version 1: Time of Flight sensor with panel and alert light
Version 2: 3D LiDAR, mmWave for vital sign with panel, cancel light and alert light
Overview
An IoT-based monitoring system can be installed in public toilets to detect falls or prolonged inactivity. It uses motion sensors, pressure sensors, and time-based analytics to identify when a user may be in distress. Upon detection, the system can alert local authorities or control office.
Challenges
Connectivity Issues: Remote countryside areas may lack stable internet or cellular coverage, complicating real-time alerts.
Privacy Concerns: Ensuring user privacy while monitoring activity in sensitive areas like toilets.
Power Supply: Maintaining consistent power for sensors in off-grid or low-maintenance locations.
Solutions
Multi sensring IoT Devices: Support 3D LiDAR or ToF for object detection and / or mmWave for vital sign depend on environment
Hybrid Communication: Employ LoRaWAN or NB-IoT for low-bandwidth, long-range communication in areas with poor connectivity.
Smart Alert System: Trigger alerts only when fall or long stay exceeds a threshold
Results
Improved Safety: Faster response times to incidents, potentially saving lives.
Operational Efficiency: Reduced need for constant human monitoring, lowering costs.
Scalable Deployment: Modular design allows easy installation in various toilet types and locations.
