Smart Wearable Device for Health Monitoring in the Internet of Things (IoT) Domain

摘要

In the last few years even more devices have been developed to monitor people health status. Commonly, these devices are designed for medical tasks like monitoring severe diseases or for diagnostic purposes; moreover, a remarkable interest is growing in the field of amateur sport activities such as jogging, running, climbing and so on. Another field of interest is represented by those people that want to monitor their health status using low cost devices. In this work we propose a low cost wearable device in the IoT domain, which has the main goal to monitor, learn and fit customer habits in order to discover some outliers signals that may represent a warning. The proposed device works by performing two main steps: the first one is to monitor normal activities of the user in order to build a reference of his condition; the second one is a real-time monitoring and analysis of the acquired data that are gathered from body sensors. Health status is carried out using a Fuzzy Logic based network that is able to summarize user health status in terms of heart rate.
