elderly people has been improved by 81.4 %.
By using the proposed solution the older and
elderly people are easily get treatment at their
home. Also, the elderly person takes online
treatment and advice by using smart devices.
It has been proposed to improve the ambiguity in
the peak load through signal noise filtering. It can
be improve by adding more sensors for safety
margins and the application of IoT can be more
utilize.

What is the Future work that set by the author
in Conclusion and Future work section
(Tariq, et al. 2019) proposed a smart system to
detect human activitits in an smart home based on
Iot devices. Activities detection systems is based
on sensor enabled devices which detect human
activities and their posture to implement them.
The author has been given a solution for detecting
human activities by analysing their body motion in
a living environment. Detection of motion activities
is beneficial for the human to serve them in their
health problems.
The solution proposed by the author in this
research work is based on smart devices to detect
human motion activities. There are some issues
related to security in detecting human activities
which need to improve in future work. Sliding
window can be implemented to improve current
solutions.
