Abstract

Proposed in recent years, smart health has gained great attention after its debut. Undoubtedly, wearable devices will bring great convenience to the development of smart health. With the aging trend, increase of empty families and solitary elderly people, and the growth spurt of chronic disease, wearable devices have come to its spring.
