Project Summary

The development in the field of medical mechatronics and IoT has led engineers and scientists to disclose the new era of technologies in health monitoring. Smart wristband for health monitoring is one of these technologies, where patients can be monitored easily without paying daily visits to the doctors.
Smart wristband uses IoT technology, in collaboration with cloud (for data storage) and mobile (for data display) for sensing and transferring of data.
Smart wristband senses data of vital signs with help of sensors, then process it using micro-controller, and after that the micro-controller forwards it to cloud for data storage in real time, from where it can be accessed to mobile application – generated for this specific task.
The sensors sense data continuously and that sensed data is updated repeatedly with interval of 1 minute, on mobile application. In case of extreme clinical conditions the Smart Wristband sends the alert message to the wearer, corresponding doctor, and the caregiver – in case of elderly patients.
The Smart Wristband helps wearers to monitor their health conditions anytime, anywhere. Smart Wristband is not only for patients but it can be implemented to any people with varying ages.

Project Objectives

1. Design and development of IoT based Smart Wristband for health monitoring.
2. To record and monitor the vital signs of wearers.
3. To provide alert in case of unusual vital signs.

Project Implementation Method

After accomplishment of literature review task, the sensors were bought and tested. Each sensor senses particular vital sign and the sensors are connected with raspberry pi which processes the raw data into fruitful information. Raspberry pi uses wireless network to send that information to the cloud storage where information is being updated continuously. The cloud storage forwards the stored information to the mobile application, developed for this particular task. While in hardware, the sensors are connected to the GPIO pins of raspberry pi, and these sensors are installed  in the wristband – here known as Smart Wristband – which will be worn for contact purposes, as we have used contact sensors.

Benefits of the Project

1. No need of frequent doctor check-ups.

2. Alert in case of unusual vital signs.

3. Monitors health conditions of wearer 24x7.

4. Easy interference to wearer on mobile application.

5. Records the vital signs of wearer.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

Smart Wristband will help wearer to monitor his/her health conditions anywhere anytime. In case of unusual vital signs, it will alert wearer about the health condition, so that wearer can take necessary steps before it is too late.
