A human being who lives in nursing homes or care units, becomes depressed because of be deficient in of independence. Our aging population demands a reliable resolution to stay active for a long time, avoid social inclusion and assistance for performing daily life activities independently in their own homes. In this project, we aim to develop a system that help and direct elderly people for independent living in their own homes. It decreases the health expenses as well as overstress of health care professional since their medical aspect, like reminding timely consumption of medicines as per the prescription through a voice output .This module guides the elderly person to complete their day by day life activities.
