The Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile technology have significantly transformed healthcare by enabling real-time monitoring and diagnosis of patients. Recognizing medical-related human activities (MRHA) is pivotal for healthcare systems, particularly for identifying actions that are critical to patient well-being. However, challenges such as high computational demands, low accuracy, and limited adaptability persist in Human Motion Recognition (HMR). While some studies have integrated HMR with IoT for real-time healthcare applications, limited research has focused on recognizing MRHA as essential for effective patient monitoring. This study proposes a novel HMR method for MRHA detection, leveraging multi-stage deep learning techniques integrated with IoT. The approach employs EfficientNet to extract optimized spatial features from skeleton frame sequences using seven Mobile Inverted Bottleneck Convolutions (MBConv) blocks, followed by ConvLSTM to capture spatio-temporal patterns. A classification module with global average pooling, a fully connected layer, and a dropout layer generates the final predictions. The model is evaluated on the NTU RGB+D 120 and HMDB51 datasets, focusing on MRHA, such as sneezing, falling, walking, sitting, etc. It achieves 94.85% accuracy for cross-subject evaluations and 96.45% for cross-view evaluations on NTU RGB+D 120, along with 89.00% accuracy on HMDB51. Additionally, the system integrates IoT capabilities using a Raspberry Pi and GSM module, delivering real-time alerts via Twilios SMS service to caregivers and patients. This scalable and efficient solution bridges the gap between HMR and IoT, advancing patient monitoring, improving healthcare outcomes, and reducing costs.
