Abstract:
The evolution of technologies gives rise to new concepts in many areas. Health problems are increasing as the world population. Global aging is increasing as well as care costs are also rising. It is increasingly necessary to improve precocious disease detection and medical intervention. Wearable monitoring systems, along with wireless communications, form the basis of an emerging class of sensor networks. These information technologies enable the early detection of abnormal conditions and help in their prevention. The goal is to create one of these systems composed by a network of sensors that is implemented in a jacket through conductive wires with connected sensors. In contact with the human body it has the function of doing several readings, such as body temperature, heartbeat, among others. Another goal is to detect user falls. The detection of falls is increasingly important for the user, as it is a situation that can endanger peoples health. For the development of this concept, Mobile Communications and the Global Positioning System are used. The first is a technology that allows to create emergency calls in response to system alarms, the second indicates the geographical location. To complement the system there is an online platform that registers the position of the user as well as his data. There is also an alert area in which the user can check his alarming values. In case of emergency the system contacts the emergency services or in special cases help can be obtained through an UAV.
