IoT fitness jacket: enhancing health monitoring using Arduino / Puteri Nur Athirah Mohd Hizal

An innovative application of IoT technology through the development of a Fitness Jacket integrated with Arduino, aimed at enhancing health monitoring and optimizing performance during physical activities. Many individuals have difficulty monitoring their health performance during exercise which can lead to exercising while sick or over-exerting themselves. The integration of IoT technology into a fitness jacket addresses this need by offering a wearable solution that combines multiple sensors and wireless connectivity. This jacket can automatically sense the temperature and heart pulse rate. Arduino allows developers to integrate various sensors such as heart rate monitors and temperature sensors modules (LM35) into the fabric of the jacket. The processed information can also be accessed from a web server, built on the HC-05 Bluetooth module that is connected to Arduino. The integration of IoT and Arduino technology in the jacket allows for continuous monitoring, analysis, and optimization of health and performance, ultimately promoting a healthier and more active lifestyle. Future research can be done include expanding the jacket's capabilities by integrating additional sensors to enhance the overall user experience.
