[0029] Referring now to the drawings, and more particularly to FIGS. 1a through 9, there are shown preferred embodiments.
[0030] FIG. 1a is a block diagram of a wearable device (100) for sensing, capturing, collecting, notifying and storing data related to pro-active health diagnostics, according to an embodiment as disclosed herein. The wearable device (100) can be, for example, but not limited to a smart patch, a smart ring, a smart watch, or the like.
[0031] In an embodiment, the wearable device (100) includes a microcontroller (110), a communicator (120), a memory (130), a sensor (140), a health diagnostic information handling controller (150), and a display (160). The microcontroller (110) is coupled with the communicator (120), the memory (130), the sensor (140), the health diagnostic information handling controller (150), and the display (160). The sensor (140) can be a pulse sensor. The display (160) can be a LED based display and a LCD based display. In another embodiment, the wearable device (100) does not have a display.
[0032] The sensor (140) is attached with a body part of a user. The sensor (140) is configured to detect a change in volume of the vital sign and transmit the vital signal to the microcontroller (110) and the health diagnostic information handling controller (150). The vital sign can be, for example, but not limited to a heartbeat, a glucose level, blood sugar level, a body fat, a hydration level, an activity level, an oxygen consumption, blood pressure, temperature of the body, respiratory rate, a mood index, or the like. The microcontroller (110) and the health diagnostic information handling controller (150) are configured to process the vital signal and identify the pro-active health diagnostic information of the user using the vital sign. The detailed operations of the wearable device (100) is explained in the FIG. 3 to FIG. 9.
[0033] Further, the wearable device (100) includes the sensor (140) comprising three pins, wherein the three pins connect with a power supply, a ground of the microcontroller (110), and a signal pin of the microcontroller (110).
[0034] The microcontroller (110) is configured to execute instructions stored in the memory (130) and to perform various processes. The communicator (120) is configured for communicating internally between internal hardware components and with external devices via one or more networks.
[0035] The memory (130) stores instructions to be executed by the microcontroller (110). The memory (130) may include non-volatile storage elements. Examples of such non-volatile storage elements may include magnetic hard discs, optical discs, floppy discs, flash memories, or forms of electrically programmable memories (EPROM) or electrically erasable and programmable (EEPROM) memories. In addition, the memory (130) may, in some examples, be considered a non-transitory storage medium. The term “non-transitory” may indicate that the storage medium is not embodied in a carrier wave or a propagated signal. However, the term “non-transitory” should not be interpreted that the memory (130) is non-movable. In certain examples, a non-transitory storage medium may store data that can, over time, change (e.g., in Random Access Memory (RAM) or cache).
[0036] Although the FIG. 1 shows various hardware components of the wearable device (100) but it is to be understood that other embodiments are not limited thereon. In other embodiments, the wearable device (100) may include less or more number of components.

[0041] FIG. 5 is an example illustration (500) in which heart beat monitoring using IoT devices and sensors are depicted, according to an embodiment as disclosed herein. In the proposed method, the wearable device operates as a heart-beat detection and monitoring system using Arduino that will detect the heart beat using the pulse sensor and will show the readings in Beats per Minute (BPM) on a LCD connected to it. The wearable device will also send the readings to the server (200) (e.g., ThingSpeak server) using the Wi-Fi module ESP8266, so that heart beats can be monitored from anywhere in the world over the internet. The ThingSpeak server displays the data online and the user of the wearable device (100) can access the data from ThingSpeak server at any time and at any place.
[0042] FIG. 6 is an example illustration (600) in which an arduino chip set is depicted, according to an embodiment as disclosed herein. First of all we will connect the ESP8266 with the Arduino. ESP8266 runs on 3.3V and if you will give it 5V from the Arduino then it won’t work properly and it may get damage. Connect the VCC and the CH_PD to the 3.3V pin of Arduino. The RX pin of ESP8266 works on 3.3V and it will not communicate with the Arduino when we will connect it directly to the Arduino. So, we will have to make a voltage divider for it which will convert the 5V into 3.3V. This can be done by connecting three resistors in series like we did in the circuit. Connect the TX pin of the ESP8266 to the pin 9 of the Arduino and the RX pin of the ESP8266 to the pin 10 of Arduino through the resistors.
[0043] ESP8266 Wi-Fi module gives the projects access to Wi-Fi or internet. The ESP8266 Wi-Fi module can communicate with any microcontroller and it is the most leading devices in the IOT platform. The Pulse Sensor is connected with the Arduino. The connections of the pulse sensor are very easy. Pulse sensor has three pins. Connect 5V and the ground pin of the pulse sensor to the 5V and the ground of the Arduino and the signal pin to the A0 of Arduino.
[0044] FIG. 7 is an example illustration (700) in which the pulse sensor with arduino chip set are depicted, according to an embodiment as disclosed herein. A LED is connected to pin 13 of Arduino. The user of the wearable device do not have to connect a resistor with because the Arduino has built in resistor at pin 13. The LCD is connected with the Arduino. The connections of the LCD are as follows:
1. Connect pin 1 (VEE) to the ground.
2. Connect pin 2 (VDD or VCC) to the 5V.
3. Connect pin 3 (V0) to the middle pin of the 10K potentiometer and connect the other two ends of the potentiometer to the VCC and the GND. The potentiometer is used to control the screen contrast of the LCD. Potentiometer of values other than 10K will work too.
4. Connect pin 4 (RS) to the pin 12 of the Arduino.
5. Connect pin 5 (Read/Write) to the ground of Arduino. This pin is not often used so we will connect it to the ground.
6. Connect pin 6 (E) to the pin 11 of the Arduino. The RS and E pin are the control pins which are used to send data and characters.
7. The following four pins are data pins which are used to communicate with the Arduino.
8. Connect pin 11 (D4) to pin 5 of Arduino.
9. Connect pin 12 (D5) to pin 4 of Arduino.
10. Connect pin 13 (D6) to pin 3 of Arduino.
11. Connect pin 14 (D7) to pin 2 of Arduino.
12. Connect pin 15 to the VCC through the 220 ohm resistor. The resistor will be used to set the back light brightness. Larger values will make the back light much darker.
13. Connect pin 16 to the Ground.
[0045] FIG. 8 is an example circuit diagram (800) of a thingspeak setup, according to an embodiment as disclosed herein. By using ThingSpeak site, the user of the wearable device (100) can monitor the data and control the system (1000) over the Internet, using the Channels and webpages provided by ThingSpeak. ThingSpeak ‘Collects’ the data from the sensors, ‘Analyze and Visualize’ the data and ‘Acts’ by triggering a reaction.
[0046] The pulse sensor is attached to any organ of body where the pulse sensor can detect the pulse easily like finger. Then the pulse sensor will measure the change in volume of blood, which occurs when every time heart pumps blood in the body. This change in volume of blood causes a change in the light intensity through that organ. The Arduino will then convert this change into the heart beat per minute (BPM). The LED connected at pin 13 will also blink according the Heart Beat.
[0047] The ESP8266 will then communicate with the Arduino and will send the data to ThingSpeak. The ESP8266 will connect the network of your router that you will provide in the code and will send the data of the sensor online. This data on the ThingSpeak will be shown in a Graph form showing the past readings too and can be accessed from anywhere over internet. The LCD connected will also show you the BPM.
[0048] FIG. 9 is an example working solution (900), according to an embodiment as disclosed herein.
