WEARABLE SENSOR FOR HUMAN ACTIVITY MONITOING

Abstract

Healthcare costs are rising at an alarming rate due to an increasing global population and an aging society.
Health care is undergoing a transition that allows residents to be monitored even while they are not in
the hospital. Developing smart systems that constantly monitor human activity is now possible thanks to
advancements in sensing technologies, embedded systems, wireless communication technologies, nano
technologies, and miniaturization. Physiological and other signs are monitored by wearable sensors in
order to detect aberrant or unexpected occurrences.
As a result, assistance can be delivered when it is most needed. This study examines the most recent
wearable sensor-based systems for tracking human activity and the obstacles they face.
