Health watch: design of a new prototype – Visart Shahu

Abstract:

Abstract With the help of Internet of Things, Wearable devices are becoming a bridge between the healthcare system and patients. In our days the traditional healthcare is not able to fulfill everyone’s needs and emergencies. Therefore, this thesis will go through a literature review about the current situation of the healthcare system, what are the new challenges and why healthcare is essential. Also, in this chapter, an overview of the current situation with a focus on the advantages and disadvantages of these wearable devices will be covered. The practical part starts with an analysis of the market by targeting a sample population and by sharing with them a survey. The results of the survey have been analyzed through explanatory data analysis. The survey was a motivation to go further and propose a new prototype which will be dedicated only to the healthcare system. It will also cover an overview of some of the main functionalities and types of sensors that will be used in this prototype. The goal of this thesis is to come to the conclusion that this wearable device will be able to shift the healthcare system from curative to preventive. …víceméně
