        abstract = {Individuals with cognitive impairments often face challenges in maintaining consistent daily routines, increasing their vulnerability in unsupervised environments. This paper presents an Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled monitoring system designed to support routine tracking and safety assurance for such individuals. The system integrates various physiological and contextual data inputs, including heart rate, blood oxygen levels (SpO2), body posture, sleep activity, phone interaction, voice presence, and emergency signals. Built on the ESP32 microcontroller, the device gathers and displays live data through a local web interface accessible on nearby devices. Each parameter is monitored independently and collectively to interpret the user’s current condition, enabling timely alerts and status updates. The compact design combines health and environmental feedback in a single platform, promoting continuous awareness without intrusiveness. The solution is cost-effective, easily deployable, and customizable for different user needs, making it a valuable tool for caregivers and medical professionals to ensure safety and support daily living for those with cognitive challenges.},
