The Research Of Smart Wearable Device Based On LED Technology

With rapid development of mobile technology and wide coverage of mobile Internet, traditional Internet gradually step into the mobile world and will finally develop itself into a mobile Internet. Leading by this trend, the smart wearable device also earn its popularity among people and has become a hotspot recently. In daily life, the smart wearable device enables people to know about their body information and their connection with the outside anywhere and anytime. Moreover, people can exchange information on platform that is related to the device itself with the help of computers. Among all the smart wearable devices, the one of medical use certainly plays the most significant role, for the reason of increasing aging population and growing awareness of health situation among people. Among medical equipment, physiotherapy equipment is one of the most important medical devices, it’s applied to realize physical therapy on human body without causing damage or pain and is relatively safe. Infrared technology is one main representation of physiotherapy equipment. Infrared is able to penetrate through the human body, dilate blood vessels, accelerate blood circulation, do favors for metabolism. Undoubtedly, research on smart wearable device for infrared therapy is of significant value. Meanwhile in the field, technology of infrared LED has become more and more mature. The technology of sensor has become more and more convenient and practical. The technology of embedded operating system has become more and more reliable and easier to use. The technology of wireless networks has become more and more efficient and popular. The concept of traditional Chinese medicine also received more and more attention from medical professionals and even citizens. None of these won’t provide technique support for the research on smart wearable device based on infrared LED technology conducted in this paper.In this paper, we first design a wireless control system by building the required hardware platform with wireless ZigBee communication technology, Linux operating system, embedded Boa server together and so on. Then we design a smart wearable device based on the control system with infrared LED technology, it’s fully complies with the concept of traditional Chinese medicine. Users is capable of viewing real-time information about their bodies and control the device wirelessly by using Android mobile application or Web application, thus enable the infrared rays to conduct physical therapy on acupoints.In order to accomplish the above functions, the paper is divided into the following three aspects:Firstly, develop an overall plan to realize the smart wearable device based on infrared LED technology and mainly divide it into three modules, namely information collection and control module, information process and transmission module and client application module.Secondly, practically design each module to realize their corresponding function, conduct hardware and software design for information collection and control module as well as information process and transmission module, develop software for client application module.Thirdly, generally make a summarization of the work done in this paper and forecast future research, provide pictures for our real models and relevant test results, propose some advices to myself on scientific research in the future.Inspired by the development of smart wearable device and health physiotherapy, I conduct the research on smart wearable device based on LED technology and succeed to design a smart wearable device for acupuncture therapy.
