Design of a Wearable Device with Integrated Biometric and Environmental Sensors

Abstract

This paper details the development of a multifunctional, cost-effective wearable designed to measure critical medical and environmental variables from the user’s wrist. The device integrates sensors for directly acquiring heart rate, blood oxygen, body temperature, local weather condi- tions, and acoustic signals. After collection, the data is wirelessly transmitted via Bluetooth to an Android application, where further analysis is performed to generate insights into the user’s well- being, including health trends and predictions. This device embodies the fusion of environmental and health telemetry in an affordable, accessible format. The report also explores the device’s po- tential to enhance group care in settings like nursing homes by facilitating the continuous remote monitoring of residents.
