Wearable Computing Enablement for Smart Health

The technology advancement that we see today can provide much more benefits in a wide variety of ways. A lot many of this technology has been explored, but for some technology such as an accelerometer, we have only touched the base. Much data is available through the accelerometer, and this data can help in changing the lives of many people. In this report, a system is proposed that take benefits of the data provided by the accelerometer to give actionable information related to three major areas such as sleep monitoring, posture monitoring and pedometer. These three areas have a significant role to play in an individual’s health and lifestyle. Consider work or home, young or mature; everyone can make use of this information and make data-driven decisions. At the same time, the prototype allows the device to be connected to the world wide web giving the live time feedback and update so that any decision which will be made will be through the real-time data. Along with these three major areas, additional features such as temperature monitoring and custom alarm have also been added to showcase the capability that such a technology can provide thanks to the modular approach that is being followed. In the end, through performing testing, it concludes that such a system is feasible and the data it provides is relatively accurate and can help an individual improve the lifestyle.
