Health Monitoring System using Wearable Sensor Network for Workers in Industries

Abstract

In recent years, the industries are focusing more on the safety and health of workers. The healthcare system is going through a transformation in which continuous monitoring of inhabitants is possible. There is a demand for innovative solutions that incorporate emerging technologies. Proposed system is an IOT based solution. Wearable sensor network can detect abnormal and unforeseen situations by monitoring physiological and environmental parameters. Wearable sensors on different subjects can communicate with each other and transmit the data to gateway. They provide warnings when health parameters of individuals and environmental parameters go beyond permissible limit. A smart IOT gateway can be implemented to provide data processing, local web server and cloud connection. It can forward the data to IOT cloud for further storage, processing and visualization.
