A wearable IoT-based health vital signs monitoring system to reduce mortality rate in developing countries
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Early detection and diagnosis of basic health condition will result in successful treatment of diseases and reduced fatality rate in developing countries. It is possible to extract human bio-signals and use it to better understand the bodily health status and reaction to external factors. This new Vital Smart System (VSS) design has in-built sensors which a user wears as a wrist band without interfering with his/her daily life activities to monitor his/her major vital signs (BT, BP, HR), of which current system has limitations to achieve. Using the Dynamic System Design Methodology (DSDM), a more technically robust, cost-effective and portable real time device was designed. This device contains an IoT interface (BLE) that connects to smart phones; a GSM interface (SIM900A) relying on AT command framework that accesses defined medical personnel on the network in cases of emergencies; optical health LEDs that alerts the user; thus, enabling consistent self-assessment of the individual’s health condition. In this research therefore, we provided a generalized smart three-in-one vital sign system that ensures effective monitoring and early detection of the user’s health status via an optimization of offline and online cross-interfaces of standalone sensors.
