A wearable physiological monitoring system comprises commercially available off-the shelf components. With the growth of interrelated systems of computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people connected by the Internet, there is a significant interest in the use of wearable sensors such as cell watches, and smart phones. These wearable sensors may be used to monitor physiological signals and provide health information. An edge-intelligent Internet based wearable assists in substance-abuse detection by monitoring and interpreting an individual's physiological signals on continuous basis. The wearable device helps in monitoring cravings and substance abuse of the individual and help the healthcare provider to start an early intervention as required. The proposed system is developed as a dedicated substance abuse wearable system. An example of a wearable device is a medical quality wearable which yielded a correlation of 0.89 for accelerometer measurements and 0.92 for average heart rate measurements in tests.

Edge-intelligent iot-based wearable device for detection of cravings in individuals

A system and method detects and provides alerts when a subject's physiological measurements indicate a likelihood of the presence of drug cravings and a possible return to drug use. The system includes a wearable sensor which monitors movement in three dimensions, Electro Dermal Response (EDR), and temperature. Initially, training measurements are taken while subject is under supervision and not taking drugs, and algorithms process the measurements to determine thresholds. After release from supervision, the physiological measurements are monitored, processed, and compared to the thresholds. When the comparison indicates a presence of cravings for drugs, an alert is provided to the subject and/or to monitoring personnel.
