Application of arduino based platform for wearable health monitoring system

World´s ageing population and predominance of obstinate diseases have led to a high demand of ambulatory healthcare system, which can monitor vital-signs. Our aim is to develop a generic clothing technology which successfully integrates biosensors woven into a shirt. We have therefore developed an ambulatory device which enables the measurement of heart rate, electro dermal activity, and skin temperature with non-invasive sensors. Since we are combining parameters such as body temperature and galvanic skin resistance, we get to know about the patient´s integral condition. One of the key features of our system is fall detection, which mainly arises from the complication of heart attack during which body´s vitals-sign changes and patient tends to collapse. This system gives warning to prevent such complications. Our research is mainly orientated towards two complementary directions: Improving the relevancy of each sensor and increasing the number of sensors for having a more synthetic and robust information.
