A Proposal for Monitoring People of Health Risk Group Using IoT Technologies
Résumé
Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged due to several advances in microelectronics and wireless communication technologies. IoT can be considered as a set of small devices, called smart objects, capable of monitor and act in the environment in which they are inserted. Many research has come up from IoT, such as precision farming, smart cities, healthcare, and wearable. In IoT domain, healthcare has been highlight due to the growing demand of the population for monitoring people belonging to health risk groups. In this paper, we propose an approach for monitoring people who are part of risk groups, for example, sedentary people, using IoT technologies. Our approach monitors users' physiological data through wearable devices and sends this data to a computational cloud. In the cloud, these data are processed, stored and presented to the healthcare professional, who will monitor and establish new activities for the user. In our work, we built a mobile and web applications, and we used collected data from sensors and a dataset of health data.
