A lot of people in the world live in very strict condition where they have to work and often forget about their healthy, moreover some of them can be very shocked when they see the result about medical checkup of themselves. In this paper we are using sensor that can detect heart rate, oxygen level in the body, and body temperature. Photoplethysmograph (PPG) is often used for detecting physiology changes from our blood vessel, because the benefit from using Photoplethysmograph is easy to use for some application in biomedical equipment. And then, for body temperature we use LM35 sensor for detecting body temperature it can be placed under the cloth so the jacket can have more clean looking. From this wearable device jacket form design, it can be concluded that by installing Photoplethysmograph (PPG) for detecting heart rate, oxygen level in the body and LM35 for body temperature sensor in the jacket form, we can monitor our body health easier. But still there is some inaccurate value if we do not have the correct position for the measurement.
