Smart Watch Supported System for Health Care Monitoring

Abstract: This work presents a smartwatch attached to patients at remote locations, which would help in the navigation of wheel chair and monitor the vitals of patients and relay it through IoT. This wearable smartwatch is equipped with sensors to measure health parameters, namely, heartbeat, blood pressure, body temperature, and step count. An esp8266 Wi-Fi module uploads the health parameters into the thingspeak cloud platform with a time stamp. This smartwatch is equipped with a joystick for cruise and navigation control of the motor driver-enabled wheelchair. Additionally, an ultrasonic sensor mounted in front of the wheelchair continuously scans for any obstacles ahead and stops the motion of the wheelchair upon detection of an obstacle. The primary controller of the system is an Arduino UNO microcontroller, which interfaces the input and output modules.
