Due to an aging population, assisted-care options are required so that senior citizens may maintain their independence at home for a longer time and rely less on caretakers. Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) encourages the creation of solutions that can help to optimize the environment for senior citizens with assistance while greatly reducing their challenges. A framework based on the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is used in the current study for the implementation of AAL technology to help patients with Type-2 diabetes.
