Functional Model of a Smart Bead Bracelet

Abstract

Many smart bracelets have been developed for e- Health. However, it is difficult for the elderly to use a smart bracelet. Therefore, in this paper, we propose the Smart Bead Bracelet (SBB), which the elderly can wear naturally. The SBB is a bracelet made from smart beads. Smart beads automatically measure information for e-Health and are easily removable. The measurement information can thus be changed according to each symptom. In addition, the SBB has high affinity with traditional cultures, such as Buddhism and Feng Shui. In this paper, we define a functional model of the SBB and verify its feasibility.
