IoT-based Portable and Wearable Sensors for Remote Health/Environmental Monitoring System

ORAL · Invited

Abstract

Air pollutants, including greenhouse gases, volatile organic compounds, and even sanitizing agents targeting coronavirus, have significant impacts on human health and the environment, being linked to diseases such as cancer, asthma, and neurological disorders. The emergence of COVID-19 further underscores the need for enhanced monitoring technologies, as the virus contributes to a range of respiratory conditions in humans and animals. Therefore, the demand for sensors that are low-power, sensitive, selective, and robust at room temperature has escalated across various sectors impacted by the COVID-19 crisis, including military, environmental, biomedical, agricultural, automotive, and industrial emissions monitoring. To meet this demand, our research is focused on developing IoT-based portable and wearable sensors. These sensors, integrated with IoT technologies, are instrumental for continuous health and performance monitoring, with applications ranging from clinical rehabilitation to operational efficiency enhancement in various fields. This presentation will outline the development of biological, chemical, and physical sensors aimed at remote health and environmental monitoring. I will share insights into my work on material synthesis and the application of these sensors, illustrating their importance in advancing monitoring and diagnostic processes.
