Abstract:
With the increasing number of elderly people as a proportion of the total population in the world and the aging of the world's population, the need for medical care has increased. On the one hand, most of the elderly population have chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, etc., which do not require hospitalization in healthcare centers, but they need to monitor their health status. Given the progress of technology, the measurement of vital body signals has been made possible with non-invasive methods. In this thesis, an attempt has been made to provide a wearable and portable solution for the measurement, monitoring, and collection of vital signals based on the Internet of Things and edge computing. This solution includes a hardware that can easily be converted into a wearable device and, by analyzing the measured data with the least hardware resources, can measure the vital signals of heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, and respiratory rate and send them to a computer or mobile phone. The use of the minimum possible hardware has made it possible to perform signal processing at the edge level and on the device itself, which also leads to lower power consumption
