Abstract
In India, over 22% of the population is below the poverty line. This poverty pushes people on streets which in the future transforms into slums. These slums, as are not planned, lack certain necessities like electricity, sanitary services, and basic hygiene resources leading to a hub for the spread of diseases. In essence, the primary aim of this paper is to identify the leading causes of diseases in slum areas of Mumbai using data collected from IoT modules, health checkup drives, and various government authorities. With this information, the concerned civic authorities and slum residents will be alerted regarding the danger so that necessary action can be taken. This, in turn, promotes the healthier society in various slum regions of India.
