Description:BACKGROUND
Field of the invention
[001] Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a system for monitoring health conditions and particularly to a system and method for monitoring health conditions of an industrial worker.
Description of Related Art
[002] Temperature and working environment in industries and factories is constantly extreme. High air temperatures, high surface temperatures, high humidity, toxic gases, and little air movement are all characteristics of an unfavorable work environment. Industrial workers in hot, and humid surroundings have been proven to have trouble concentrating and take unsafe shortcuts, according to studies. The heat and presence of toxic gases harm dexterity and coordination, as well as the capacity to stay attentive through long and boring jobs and make rapid judgments. Industrial workers who operate in temperatures below 70°F (21°C) have the lowest accident rates; and those who work in temperatures over 80°F (27°C) have the highest accident rates. Heat stress and the presence of toxic gases can develop at lower temperatures when humidity is a factor. The effects of variations in barometric air pressure on ventilation conditions in deep factories and industrial subterranean are significant.
[003] Changes in pressure are very significant since they are responsible for transitory states of ventilation conditions; consequently, determining the magnitude of pressure change is critical. Other gases, such as carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, methane, and an overabundance of carbon dioxide, can pollute the air in an industry or factory. As they are in a confined environment, these gases are not always able to dissipate and can therefore build up in the mine, which is a severe concern owing to their flammable, explosive, or poisonous properties.
[004] Moreover, commercial systems are now available for geotechnical, orientational stability analysis, weather monitoring, ambient air quality, lightning warning, and environmental compliance monitoring. An array of sensors is used in these systems to monitor the temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, and the presence of flammable gases in the surroundings.
[005] However, despite of the technological advancements, there have been no technologies present to use by workers across factories and industries to assess these critical health factors and body vitals.
[006] There is thus a need for a system and method for monitoring the health conditions of the industrial worker that can overcome the shortcomings in a more efficient manner.
