1. Introduction
Background Information, Issues and Current Solutions
In recent times, it is very crucial to enduring the better healthcare and well-being across all age groups for a sustainable development of the country. The
rapid increase in accidents, attacks, and effects of chronic disease has been raising the need for remote monitoring. There is a lack of specific technology that
gives the exact information of one's well-being precisely and some diseases are too dangerous that can be avoided if discovered at earlier stages. Hence,
current technologies include wearable device technology such as an armband, Smart watch, Google glass, and smart cloth that can be used to give the precise
health information of an individual. It will enhance the nature of well-being administration that will reduce the introduction of diseases in the last stages and
save the health and a large amount of money by informing the individual about the symptoms in advance.
Shortcomings/ limitations in the current /existing solutions
The current solution is remote health monitoring has some limitations which need to be solved in order to enhance the healthcare monitoring and improving
the health of every individual. The wearable device faces an issue of compatibility and wearability whiles the use of the device. The healthcare monitoring
services are not effective and may face technical challenges in tracking emergency. IOT (internet of things) is only used in current scenarios to locate the

people and everyday objects using geological signals. The IOT needs to be combining with IOT and using that wearable devices technology which will
increase the information that is collected from an individual's healthcare and well- being.
Importance of solving this problem
It is very important for a country to maintain the wellness of the citizens. This will provide a promising and cost-effective way of improving home care for
these citizens. The wearable devices help in monitoring the emergency condition of patients and people which serves in reducing deaths and mortality rate.
This will also help in observing symptoms of users or patients in advance which manages emergency health condition with immediate treatment using the
domain of healthcare and services
2. The Main objective and purpose of this research
The main aim of the research is:
 To incorporate the use of IOT evolution in healthcare for improving the wellness and home care facilities.
 To provide independence and maintain good health of elderly and disabled people
 To improve the decision making in healthcare for the immediate treatment of patients and handling the emergency case.
3. Questions need to be answered
The questions need to be created based on the objective that you set. These question will be used to collect accurate information in your literature review
stage
Q1.What is the current issues related to Healthcare monitoring of all age groups?
Q2.What is the drawbacks of the existing solution to Healthcare monitoring?
Q3.How the change in Wearable devices technology will affect the medical situation of individuals?
Q4.What new technologies can be adopted I Healthcare to monitor the individual health?
Q5. How the Wearable devices technology will be beneficial for elderly and disabled people?

4. A Brief Description of Your Proposal
The usage of smart wearable devices technology in the healthcare sector is very poor in spite of it being an affordable facility. the continuous increment in
the lifestyle disease, sedentary lifestyle, busy work schedule can take help of smart wearable devices technology in the remote health monitoring which will
allow them to keep a track of their help while being productive and any arising symptoms can be detected in advance and the patient can take care of this
himself as the diseases in low stages are controllable. The main purpose of this research is to bring the use of smart wearable devices in the remote health
monitoring so that the lifestyle of the citizens can be improved.
Current positioning techniques to be tentatively used in this work are to provide data transfer and tracking using:
 Gesture based device
 Head-mounted device
 Wrist-worn device
 Body wear device
5. The Process or Methodology of Your Project
The tentative methodology of research work shall be as following:
1. Literature review (LR)
 A study is done to understand the usage of smart wearable devices in healthcare facilities.
 A comparative study in done which shows the usage of smart wearable devices in India and other countries and also statistics of the health of citizens
is compared.
 Based on the study, a statistical figure is suggested which shows how the increase in population and the usage of smart wearable devices technology
can improve the health of citizens.
2. Data gathering and justification
 All the data from different studies is evaluated and the drawbacks of the current remote monitoring services are analysed.
