Abstract

Our body is full of sensors, sensors which have no type of communication with the new technology that invades our society. With smartphones and smartwatches, we can try to create the missing link and do real-time monitor of our body sensors to ensure a better health and a better way of wellbeing. With these devices and IoT network, we can collect data to send to a central server. After, we can analyze the data, with A.I. and machine learning, diagnose diseases and do treatment recommendations. Also, we can improve administrative work. The acceptance of these devices by society it’s immense and with its use we can associate our way of life to several diseases. This study main goal is to verify the accuracy of the smartwatch sensors compared to certified health equipment. Other goals are the creation of a framework that collects and analyzes data with the creation of real-time dashboards and reports. Smartwatch as collector and a main server where we store and analyze the data.
