Abstract

In this paper, we propose a model for using smart watches as Internet of Things (IoT). IoT can be defined as a network of physical devices, vehicles, buildings and other items which have electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity so that these “things” can collect and exchange data. In the proposed system, the purpose is to identify daily activities such as walking, sitting, falling, etc., by using the data acquired from the sensors of a smart watch. As smart watches have the necessary hardware and sensors, the implementation such an IoT application would not cost much. Moreover, analyzing the sensor data would yield useful information. Besides it would be a user-friendly system that does not make the elderly uncomfortable. As being a watch, this device can be always on the user. The proposed system is implemented and the results of initial experiments and user experiences are promising.
