Abstract

This narrative study provides an analytical and critical review of recent advancements (2019-2026) in the integration of IoT (Internet of Things) and AI (Artificial Intelligence) systems for fall detection and child health monitoring. Unlike prior studies, which concentrated on elderly care and monitoring, this study examines child-specific monitoring environments, including wearable, vision-based, and hybrid systems. It investigates new trends such as the combination of deep learning and interpretable AI with multimedia sensory input and peripheral or fuzzy computing. Data scarcity, real-world deployment limits, privacy concerns, and age-related changes are among the key challenges addressed. The paper identifies important research gaps and proposes future paths for sustainable, secure, and accessible intelligent child monitoring systems.
