Body-Adapted Wearable Electronics Technical Report

health, blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, blood sugar, and urine can be monitored self, and also can

A huge leap forward in this tech though is what Healthstats has been working on. Healthstats has created a new blood pressure watch which uses a newly devised algorithm to record blood pressure. The way it works is you sync the watch to their blood pressure machine. You take a couple blood pressure readings with a normal cuff and the data syncs to the watch. What happens next is pretty amazing, the watch now uses the shape of the pressure waves that run to the wrists and determines your blood pressure. This technology seamlessly syncs with the other functions of the watch prior and still can run off a 5 day battery life.

UnderSkin is supposed to be the next wearable piece of technology that gathers, and gives, a person's information when it is next to another person or some type of reader. Rhodes’ goes on to say that this device will not be like a person normal wearable gadget, but it will be

Heart rate monitors provide immediate feedback on how hard you are working out so that you can make adjustments to get the greatest benefit from your exercise. All exercisers can benefit from monitoring their heart rate during activity, enabling them to maintain fat-burning and aerobic target zones based on their goals.

This technological advancement facilitates the potential use of a \ac{WHTD} as a solution to relieve the burden on the health care system. The \ac{WHTD} refers to the devices which are capable of monitoring the physiological signs (e.g., heart activity, \ac{ECG}, \ac{EMG}, blood pressure, body temperature, oxygen saturation, etc.) of the human body and its surrounding environment (e.g., light, humidity, temperature, etc.) using a number of sensors located on or/and in the human body using \ac{BAN} \cite{movassaghi2014wireless,bangash2014survey,jovanov2011body}. This has been employed in various applications, such as military and sports training, \ac{HCI}, entertainment (interactive gaming), home and office automation, environmental monitoring, and \ac{VR}. It has also shown a tremendous potential as a personal healthcare system, which can provide services such as remote patient and elderly people monitoring, activity monitoring, rehabilitation, and disability assistance services as these devices can monitor health status seamlessly in real-time without disturbing users daily life. Consequently, major \ac{ICT} companies are introducing various wearable devices and services with Personalised Health Data management systems. Apple iWatch with HealthKit, Samsung Galaxy fit and Samsung Digital Health, and Google Fit are some of the

As the world continues to advance onward to new technologies and ideas, the areas of science, technology, engineering, and math are being utilized more and more. One example of such interdisciplinary study that I find fascinating is a cutting edge new technology called the Myo Armband, which utilizes nerve signals by use of electromyography technology and transfers them into Bluetooth Signals that can be used for gesture control, or the controlling of digital devices without touch. This device can interpret five gestures of the hand and hand rotation, which makes forth for easy controlling. What truly defines such technology is not just its functions, but its workings and its possibilities.

There are things like FitBit that monitors heartrate and activity. TabSafe is a medication management system that reminds, dispenses, alerts and posts information on compliance to your doctor without making a phone call. “TV Ears” helps people with hearing loss hear the television clearly without turning up the volume. “Smart refrigerator” can detect your food is getting old or if you’re out of a frequently used item, show you the weather and incoming calls eliminating the need to run to the phone unnecessarily. These types of technology products help make independent living for the older generation easier and safer.

The increasing ageing population leads the great healthcare expenditure, and it will overload the national health care system. Especially, the lack of the number of carer is one of the biggest issues in here due to ageing care needs a one-on-one treatment with 24 hours monitoring. As one of the solutions, unsupervised personal health care system has been raised using the wearable health tracking devices (WHTD) and the personal treatment devices (PTD). WHTDs are initially designed designed for simple physical activity monitoring during exercise. Its potential ability to monitor user's status without disturbing their daily life has made the WHTD as an ideal personal health monitoring tool. The current stage of the WHTD can capture essential vital

With flexible wearable technology, doctors do not have to rely on clunky, large equipment. Not only that, doctors are able to download real time information from patients and able to tailor their treatment in a proactive manner rather than a responsive manner. Doctors are also able to monitor patients 24/7. Even if patients have moved back to their home, doctors are also able to monitor them with the medical wearables. By putting patients back to their home, it benefits them as they will be more comfortable with familiar surroundings. This will aid them in better

Connected wearable patches consist of patches, small devices, or tattoos that are attached to the skin, and worn for a concise period of time, varying from an hour to several weeks. The patches have an feature of wireless connectivity, which have a medical, health, or wellness purpose ranging from nursing physiological data to delivering medication. They may be used for patient monitoring, sports, or drug-delivery. Wearable patches are ideal as they could be hidden under clothing, hardly interfere with the movement and hence can record more precise data. This patches aren’t removable patches for clothing, while they are stick adhesives which or may not include a medication or sensor.

By using a mobile EKG, the hospital staff only has to connect wires to the patient once. This feature will save the caregivers time and decrease the risk of bacteria being introduced to the patient. The patient will also be “more comfortable in their beds and getting up and around” since they are free from unnecessary wires [2]. This project was motivated by the realization that wires are unnecessary given the current state of wireless communication technologies.

Introduction - The words wearable technology, wearable devices, wearables and wearable electronic all are associate with electronic computers or technologies that are used by people as items of clothing as well as accessories which can comfortable to worn on the body. These wearable electronics can do some of the same computing tasks as mobile phones, laptop and computers. Today, it is assumed that people prefer more wearable devices as compared to laptops and mobiles phones because it can provide sensory and scanning features (Tehrani, Kiana, and Andrew Michael, 2014). The craziness among wearable devices is increasing day by day. I will provide the information about the growth of wearable devices with the help of some researches. According to ABI research, they found that 30 million ‘wireless health devices’ were sold in the year 2012 and by year 2017, the value will be reach at 170 million. Now, I want to discuss about my group. We are four members in group. The topic of my group is “Wearable electronic body adaptable“. We separate topic in different parts and my part in topic is Advantages and Disadvantages of Wearable electronics. In the following paragraphs, I will explain Advantages and Disadvantages of Wearable Electronics.

It would also allow the patients to wear the device outside the laboratory, creating more opportunities to capture elusive phenomena [134]. This would require a low-power device implementing a hardware efficient EEG processing algorithm.

Headbands or armbands provide feedback on calories burned, assisting a dieter with adjusting food consumption and exercise to achieve desired results. Sensing devices provide data on physical symptoms related to the wearer 's psychological state, assisting mental health providers. (3) INDUSTRY WEARABLE COMPUTERS: - The auto repair industry embraces wearable computers and uses body computers for many functions. A baseball cap clip-on allows a mechanic to view a schematic of an engine or parts assembly while working on the engine. Warehouse workers wear computer headsets that allow the worker to access data regarding product inventory. The data is delivered audibly, keeping the worker free to operate equipment and perform other functions. Wearable body computers for industry are built of tough materials and are lightweight, permitting a worker to wear a computer headband or wristband without distraction. (4) EMERGENCY WORKERS WEARABLE COMPUTERS :-Wearable computers increase safety for emergency workers. By wearing body computers, firefighters may be monitored by a supervisor who is alerted when a firefighter is reaching dangerous core temperature levels. Wrist-worn computers allow policemen, hospital staff and other emergency workers to communicate without interruption or having to use their hands to operate the devices. Other body computers contain integrated global positioning systems, providing the worker with safety through the ability to locate

A health care technology, which changed health care communication is the “The BioRadio Mobile and Wireless System.” The BioRadio is a wireless monitor that records physiological signals, such as the electrical activity of the heart, brain, and muscles. This biomedical device is innovative, simple to set up and operate, it is equipped with multi-programmable channels which captures and transmits human physiological data via Wi-Fi to computers, laptops, tablets or Smartphones. Additionally, the information can be stored in the onboard memory of the BioRadio itself. This system comes with a range of applications software kits such as ECG, EEG, EKG and more all in one unit. By installing these kits, users can stream real-time data onto their own custom application The BioRadio mobile and wireless systems are utilized in various hospitals, nursing homes and health care facilities to effectively serve their patients, staff, and communities.
