ANALYSIS OF WEARABLE INTELLIGENT DEVICES FOR INCREASED SAFETY IN HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENTS
Abstract
Nowadays, wearable devices represent an intensely-used technology, which helps us keep track of various vital parameters. It is a great development, its impact on society being described simply by the success among users. The data provided by wearable devices can be easily integrated with wireless sensor networks, leading to successful Internet-of-Things applications. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the current stage of wearable technology, as it represents fast and simple data sharing. These make it is essential for research, medical or monitoring applications. Each newly developed idea related to wearable sensors leads to seeing technology as a solution to real-life problems, such as work safety concerns. We envision to achieve this goal by proposing an innovative platform which can monitor critical, environmental and physiological data, and process it in order to gain situation awareness. and to achieve a better understanding of the risk factors concerning the workers' health and safety. Thus, by aggregating and analyzing the sensors data, we intend to mitigate the common health problems to these work environments, like respiratory diseases.
