Due to the rising trend in IoT almost all the things today are on the verge of becoming smart which can be used in our day to day to life rather it be smart bottle, smart wearable's, etc. Smart Wearables are used to monitor health related parameters and mostly used by fitness conscious people and for some who have health related problems and needs to measure the health parameters continuously. Wearables help in monitoring different health related parameters such as step count, heartbeat, ECG, sleep monitoring, body mass, body temperature, etc. Smart wearables provide garments with sensors knitted in the cloth to find a lot of sensitive information using wireless network. With respect to the above survey we are proposing an idea in which there is a prototype that can be embedded in any type of fabric anytime, anywhere to find health related information and people can view their statistics of the health data collected on mobile application through their authentication, thereby measuring few parameters such as heart rate (BPM) using Pulse Sensor. The system will detect the amount of sweat generated by human to calculate the sugar level of the person by using GSR Sensor which will help to detect whether the person is diabetic or not and real time body temperature can be calculated using an accurate Temperature Sensor and lastly 3 Axis Accelerometer Sensor which shows the step count of an individual. All these above sensed parameters will be sent to a microcontroller for processing and then transferring it to a mobile application through wireless communication. The data can be viewed by the user on smart phone application. Real time data analytics can be done for diagnosing various symptoms for detecting diseases.
