The advancement of science and technology using the present trend is pacing at high speed. The present trend is Internet of Things (IoT) based technology, applied in various applications like operation of household appliances, agriculture implements etc. This makes the work easier and faster with saving of considerable amount of energy. In the present work, a prototype hand stick is designed based on IoT equipped with the GPS locator, SMS alert, Medicine reminder and a LED torch light system. This will enable the aged persons to carry out their routine duties with ease, comfort and convenience. A Global Position System (GPS) locator is fixed to the conventional hand stick. With this the location of the person can be easily traced out by the family members. In case of any threat or emergency, an SMS alert shall be sent to the mobile number fed into the device on pressing the switch provided on the hand stick. The IoT hand stick is equipped with a simple medicine reminder device. By feeding the stipulated time of medicine, the device will give a buzzer sound. The timings can be further altered if required. As an additional feature to this hand stick a LED torch is installed on it. A switch is provided on it to switch ON or OFF the torch whenever necessary. Thus this compact, handy, and user friendly hand stick mounted with IoT device can make the lives of the aged people safe, secure and comfortable.
