Design and Development of an IoT Based Wearable Vital Signs Measuring Smart Device for Diagnosing and Managing Various Health Conditions
Journal Title: Engineering and Technology Journal - Year 2025, Vol 10, Issue 01
Abstract
The increasing demand for continuous health monitoring and early detection of medical conditions has led to the development of innovative wearable technologies. This paper presents the design and development of an IoT-based wearable smart device capable of measuring vital signs to aid in the diagnosis and management of various health conditions. The device integrates multiple sensors to monitor key physiological parameters, including heart rate, body temperature, and blood oxygen levels (SpO2). These sensors are connected to a microcontroller, which processes the data and transmits it to a cloud-based platform via wireless communication protocols. The system architecture leverages IoT technology to enable real-time data collection, storage, and analysis, making it possible for healthcare providers to remotely monitor patients and make informed decisions. The device is designed to be lightweight, energy-efficient, and comfortable for continuous wear, ensuring usability across different patient demographics. Additionally, the smart device includes features for alerting users and healthcare providers to abnormal readings, thereby facilitating timely interventions. This paper discusses the technical challenges encountered during the development process, such as sensor integration, power management, and ensuring data security and privacy. It also highlights the potential applications of the device in managing chronic diseases, post-operative care, and remote patient monitoring. The prototype’s performance is evaluated through a series of tests, demonstrating its reliability and accuracy in measuring vital signs. The study concludes that this IoT-based wearable device has significant potential to enhance healthcare delivery by providing a convenient, efficient, and scalable solution for continuous health monitoring.
