Embedded System Design for Wearable Health Monitoring

Authors: Riya Kulkarni , Manav Srivastav

Abstract: Wearable health monitoring devices are becoming very popular in recent years due to growth in embedded systems, low power electronics, wireless communication and smart sensors. These devices continuously track physiological parameters such as heart rate, body temperature, blood oxygen level, motion activity and many other health indicators. Embedded system design plays a very important role in making these wearable devices reliable, small in size, low power and comfortable for long time usage. This paper presents a detailed review of embedded system architecture, hardware components, software design, communication methods and power optimization techniques used in wearable health monitoring systems. Challenges like battery limitation, data accuracy, sensor calibration and security issues are also discussed. The paper also highlights recent trends such as AI integration, edge processing and IoT connectivity in wearable devices.
