The study presents a system that merges Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) with IoT-enabled adaptive artificial intelligence (AI) framework for transforming personalized elderly care within the smart home environment. The reason for the application of GANs is to generate synthetic health data, which in turn addresses the scarcity of data, especially of some rare but critical conditions, and helps enhance the predictive accuracy of the system. Continuous data collection from IoT sensors, including wearable sensors (e.g., heart rate monitors, pulse oximeters) and environmental sensors (e.g., temperature, humidity, and gas detectors), enables the system to track vital indications of health, activities, and environment for early warnings and personalized suggestions through real-time analysis. The AI adapts to the unique pattern of healthy and behavioral habits in every individual\u2019s lifestyle, hence offering personalized prompts, reminders, and sends off emergency alert notifications to the caregiver or health provider, when required. We were showing significant improvements like 30% faster detection of risk conditions in a large-scale real-world test setup, and 25% faster response times compared with other solutions. GANs applied to the synthesis of data enable more robust and accurate predictive models, ensuring privacy with the generation of realistic yet anonymized health profiles. The system merges state-of-the-art AI with GAN technology in advancing elderly care in a proactive, dignified, secure environment that allows improved quality of life and greater independence for the aging individual. The work hence provides a novel framework for the utilization of GAN in personalized healthcare and points out that this will help reshape elderly care in IoT-enabled \u201csmart\u201d homes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/frai.2025.1520592","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,13]],"date-time":"2025-02-13T07:08:25Z","timestamp":1739430505000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Integrating generative adversarial networks with IoT for adaptive AI-powered personalized elderly care in smart homes"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Fawad","family":"Naseer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abdullah","family":"Addas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Muhammad","family":"Tahir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Muhammad Nasir","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Noreen","family":"Sattar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e0307608","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0307608","article-title":"Waste management 2.0 leveraging internet of things for an efficient and eco-friendly smart city solution","volume":"19","author":"Addas","year":"2024","journal-title":"PLoS One"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"100004","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jjimei.2020.100004","article-title":"Generative adversarial network: an overview of theory and applications","volume":"1","author":"Aggarwal","year":"2021","journal-title":"Int.
