In another illustrative embodiment, for instance, there can be time when the entity is feeling energetic, hopeful, or hesitant, where the device+ (100) can pick up on an argument, or a tense conversation at work, and indicate that the entity felt elated at a particular time and hesitant after pre-determined. In yet another illustrative embodiment, the device (100) can help determining weight and blood body percentage.
[0057] In an illustrative embodiment, the device (100) can be a belt, but not limited to the likes, where the belt can be made of material like elastomer. The belt can include force clasps and casing, where the clasps and casing can be made with a surgical-grade stainless steel, but not limited to the likes.

In another illustrative embodiment, battery of the belt can last for days like seven, but not limited to the likes.
[0058] In an illustrative embodiment, when army and military perform any operation and any kind of injury happened with the entity like soldier, where head of army can be informed about the injury of the soldier and blood loss. After wearing the belt, the soldier wearing the belt and the head can easily find the volume of blood loss after the injury with help of heart rate monitoring sensor and blood leakage sensor. In another illustrative embodiment, the wearable device can be internet of things (Iot) enabled. The wearable device can be easy to wear and comfortable. The band can detect the complete blood loss, temperature, blood pressure of the entity and can help in identifying the volume of blood loss required by the entity. The information associated with the entity for heart rate and blood leakage can be stored in cloud and the operational head can keep an eye on the information for detecting the entity suffering the most. Once the entity is detected, an immediate first-aid can be given.
[0059] In an illustrative embodiment, battery life of the belt can be efficient and the belt can help in complete body analysis for the entity and can act as a saviour, where the entity wearing the belt can be easily detected in case of blood loss.

[0080] As used herein, and unless the context dictates otherwise, the term "coupled to" is intended to include both direct coupling (in which two elements that are coupled to each other contact each other) and indirect coupling (in which at least one additional element is located between the two elements). Therefore, the terms "coupled to" and "coupled with" are used synonymously. Within the context of this document terms "coupled to" and "coupled with" are also used euphemistically to mean “communicatively coupled with” over a network, where two or more devices are able to exchange data with each other over the network, possibly via one or more intermediary device.
[0081] It should be apparent to those skilled in the art that many more modifications besides those already described are possible without departing from the inventive concepts herein. The inventive subject matter, therefore, is not to be restricted except in the spirit of the appended claims. Moreover, in interpreting both the specification and the claims, all terms should be interpreted in the broadest possible manner consistent with the context. In particular, the terms “comprises” and “comprising” should be interpreted as referring to elements, components, or steps in a non-exclusive manner, indicating that the referenced elements, components, or steps may be present, or utilized, or combined with other elements, ` components, or steps that are not expressly referenced.
[0082] While the foregoing describes various embodiments of the invention, other and further embodiments of the invention may be devised without departing from the basic scope thereof. The scope of the invention is determined by the claims that follow.
