Wearable Sensor Network System for Safety and Healthy Applications in Industrial Workplace
Keywords:
Wearable Sensor Network, Wi-Fi, BLE, Wearable Body Area Network (WBAN).Abstract
In this paper, we develop a wearable sensor network system for Internet of Things (IoT) connected safety and health applications. Safety and health of workers are important for industrial workplace, therefore, an IoT network system which can monitor both environmental and physiological can greatly improve the safety in the workplace. The proposed network system incorporates multiple wearable sensors to monitor environmental and physiological parameters. The wearable sensors on different subjects can communicate with each other and transmit the data to a gateway via a Wi-Fi network which forms a heterogeneous IoT platform with Bluetooth-based medical signal sensing network. Once harmful environments are detected, the sensor node will provide an effective notification and warning mechanism for the users. The data from the sensors can be processed, analyzed and stored in the cloud and all the data is transferred with the help of Wi-Fi.
