Abstract:

In view of the current practical application of wearable technology, the safety of monitoring, the comfort of clothing and the safety of data. The status of the application and development of health monitoring equipment were summarized. Firstly, the monitoring objects were divided into four categories including elderly, children, pregnant women and patients, and their monitoring functions were described respectively. Secondly, The principles and applications of three types of sensors (biological / motion / environmental sensors), two types of data processing platforms (Arduino/STM32) and four types of wireless transmission technology (BLE/ZigBee/RFID/NFC) and information feedback technology were summarized. At last, the wearable devices were put forward from the combination of research and practice, flexible and comfortable clothing platform, feedback of the usage rate of monitoring objects, power management and personalized design of the equipment itself, and confidentiality of data transmission and feedback.

Key words: wearable technology, health monitoring, clothing comfort, data safety
