SMART FITNESS WATCH FOR MONITORING OF HEALTH PARAMETER

Abstract

Smartphone and smart watch technology is changing the transmission and monitoring landscape for patients and research participants to communicate their healthcare information in real time. Flexible, bidirectional and real-time communication management enables a rich range of healthcare applications to be built that can provide participant interactivity and respond dynamically to their evolving environment. In addition, smart watches have a number of sensors appropriate for physical activity and location data collection. The combination of all these features enables the data collected to be transmitted to a remote server and thus to be tracked in real time for physical activity and potentially social activity. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop a smart watch-based framework for real-time and online assessment and mobility monitoring (ROAMM). The proposed ROAMM framework will include a smart watch application and server. The smart watch application will be used to collect and preprocess data. The server will be used to store and retrieve data, remote monitor, and for other administrative purposes. With the integration of sensor-based and user-reported data collection, the ROAMM framework allows for data visualization and summary statistics in real-time.
