Conclusion

As the Internet of Things takes off, wearables for measuring physiological data aim to facilitate access to data usually measured exclusively in a medical context, such as heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, bioelectrical activity or blood sugar levels. The main measurement technologies were presented in the first part of the conference, and could make daily life easier for elderly, sick, frail or disabled people. In addition to biomedical applications, these devices are also relevant in the fields of well-being, sport, leisure and education. Some uses have already been democratized, such as monitoring blood sugar levels in diabetic patients, tracking sporting performance or detecting falls in certain EPHAD homes using smartwatches. For many other applications, the potential of wearable connected devices remains to be investigated or exploited. The sector is very dynamic, whether...
