ABSTRACT
Bakopoulos E, Papageorgiou L, Megalooikonomou V,
Vlachakis D., State of the art sensor-based wearables and nanorobotics
for life sciences, Onl J Bioinform.,

(19):35-40, 2018. We
review current research and development on systems for health monitoring with
wearables and nanorobotics. Cameras, smartwatches and nanorobotics can be
combined to treat, diagnose and perform surgery. The Internet of Things (IoT) plays a significant role due to real time function, alerts
and continuous monitoring. Wearables can provide continuous monitoring of
health parameters. Accelerometers measure movement of the body, gyroscopes rotation
and orientation, magnetometers magnetism and motion, barometric pressure sensors,
pressure and altitude, temperature sensors, skin and ambient temperature, light
sensors, solar cell energy, heart rate monitors, blood flow, oxygen sensor,
oxygen (O2) in blood, GPS, position for dementia, microphones for mobile and vibration
sensors for health alerts, e-mails or calls, and AWS DeepLens
video camera. Embedded objects include
X-ray, ECG, EEG, MRI, CT, pulse oximeters, glucowatches,
electronic defibrillators and microchips. The devices can be used to
monitor diabetes, apnea, obesity, sleep disorders cardiovascular diseases, in-hospital
monitoring, asthma, arthritis, kidney disease epilepsy, Alzheimer’s, Personal
Emergency Response System (PERS) stress and stroke.
Keywords: wearables, IoT, internet of things, nanorobotics, aws
deeplens, smartwatch, cloud, sensors.
