Wearable devices for Health Remote Monitor System

It is feasible to see how communication and information technology have advanced at a rapid pace in today’s world. The introduction of wearable technology is one aspect contributing to this progress and has the potential to be an innovative solution to healthcare challenges since it may be utilized for illness prevention and maintenance, such as physical monitoring, as well as patient management. In order to solve some of the healthcare challenges, this paper proposes the development of an intelligent health monitoring system with alerts and continuous monitoring using wearable devices capable of collecting biometric data on human health. The concept was then proven by the development of a prototype using sensors connected to a micro-controller which transmits its information via MQTT to a Node-RED powered dashboard that handles the health metrics monitoring. The designed prototype has proven satisfactory to provide evidences that support the developed research questions.
