Tutorials iSES 2023 Smart Wearable Technologies for Personalised Health Management

There has been substantial growth observed for wearable technologies in past few years due to increased interest in health and wellness from peoples. Wearable systems are a popular and appealing option in health care services because they provide patients with personalise solutions for disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Three wearable technologies for personalised health management would be discussed as follows: (i) Diabetes is one of the fast growing chronic disease caused by insufficient insulin generation of the body. The wearable technology would allow the people to monitor the blood glucose continuously for proper diabetes management. (ii) The Intelligent prosthetic arm has potential to improve the quality of the life for upper-limb prostheses. It has shown the outstanding ability to improve the experience towards prostheses. It can be useful to provide the support for activities of the daily living (ADL). (iii) Epilepsy is a neurological illness that affects the brain as well as the nerves and spinal cord of the human body, resulting in unpredictable behaviours. The wearable device would allow the real-time monitoring of hypoxia and hypoglycaemia case to have continuous measurement for prediction of epilepsy recurrence episodes.
