Abstract:

The evolution of man-kind is a process that began decades ago. Along with this development the world was being stripped of its exquisite resources that ultimately led to pollution, global-warming, etc. These factors in turn critically affected the health and well-being of all living beings, from a new born child to a senile person due to which half of the worlds’ population are born with some disability. Heart attacks and seizures (or fits) are the two most common medical problems that majority of people experience be it an abled or a disabled person. Long-term well-being monitoring is an underlying theme for evaluating health status by collecting physiological signs through behavioral traits. A wearable social sensing technology which is non-intrusive and trustworthy also in alignment with internet of things (IOT) paves way for researchers to find and establish the inter-relationships between unobtrusive social cues and physical mental health (PMH). This project aims at implementing an IOT structured wearable social sensing device with the integration of behaviour monitoring for a disabled person. This device checks for any abrupt changes in patient heartbeat, body position, body temperature. If there is an abrupt change, the device automatically alerts the doctor and the patient’s relatives about his or her status through IOT. The added advantage of this device is that it includes an electric pulse simulator that generates electric pulses to the whole body in case of seizures or heart attacks which helps in stabilizing the heartbeat of the patient to a normal level until the patient is tended to.
