Healthcare, Accelerometer, Skin temperature sensor, Blood pressure monitor, Photoplethysmogram, Electrothermal activityAbstract
Health data management is crucial for informed healthcare decisions. It centralizes real-time information from wearable devices, enabling early detection of issues, personalized recommendations, and comprehensive patient profiles. This organized data aids healthcare professionals in delivering tailored care, improving diagnostics, and enhancing overall patient well-being. Additionally, robust data management ensures security and integrity, instilling patient trust and providing a foundation for impactful research and advancements in healthcare practices. This healthcare data management system utilizes a smartwatch with advanced sensors, including a photo plethysmo gram (PPG) for continuous heart rate monitoring, an accelerometer for physical activity tracking, a skin temperature sensor, a blood pressure monitor, and an electrodermal activity (EDA) sensor for stress assessments. Real-time physiological data is collected, with the PPG sensor capturing blood volume changes, the accelerometer providing insights into physical activity, and the EDA sensor measuring skin conductance for stress levels. The data is transmitted to a centralized platform via IoT, where big data analytics process minute-to-minute variations in heart rate, step counts, sleep patterns, blood pressure, and stress levels. This dataset forms the basis for early health issue detection, personalized recommendations, and detailed patient profiles. The system incorporates blockchain for data security, encrypting and storing information in a decentralized ledger. Patients have control over their data through a user-friendly interface, managing access permissions and providing explicit consent for sharing health information with professionals.
