Desarrollo de un prototipo para el monitoreo de parámetros relacionados con actividades físicas del ser humano mediante la utilización de la tecnología wearable y una aplicación para el sistema operativo Android

Abstract

This Project focuses on the development of a prototype for the monitoring of parameters related to physical activities of the human using Open Source tools. The prototype is composed of a smart suit (t-shirt, glove and trousers), which has an integrated three LilyPad Arduino plates to monitor the physiological activities of humans, such as: The heartbeat and movement of user. It also contains a mobile application developed in the Android operating system, which allows displayed the monitored data from the user. In addition, the mobile application includes a map service to show the track traveled using the smartphone GPS and Google Earth services, as well as saving the following information: The distance traveled, an estimate of the calories consumed, the duration of the activity Performed, and the maximum and average speed. Finally, the communication between the smart suit and the mobile application is done the use of a Bluetooth module.
