Abstract:
Monitoring of elderly health in real time could be vital in the event of emergency medical incidents and could possibly result in saving a person’s life. Researchers, are focusing on the field of monitoring vital signs in real time via biosensors with non-invasive methods, followed by processing and assessment of the acquired data. Due to Internet of Things technology, vital signs could be gathered and distributed in real time to multiple users simultaneously. The main indicators of vital signs involve measurements of skin temperature, heart rate, blood pressure respiration rate, oxygen saturation, PH level, calories, etc. In this paper, we present a novel approach of a wearable device fabricated in a flexible substrate that can measure such bioindicators and notify caregivers in order to assist an elderly person in a potential emergency situation. In this paper a wearable vital sign monitoring wearable device is presented in order to monitor the physiological state in real time.
