Abstract

Modern wearable devices (smartwatches, wristbands, or rings) can incorporate several physiological sensors. Therefore, those devices can be used to monitor an individual’s health condition. Machine learning algorithms can be used to predict fatigue or other health problems. The aim of this study is to prevent and detect fatigue. Therefore, an Artificial Intelligence model for real-time prediction of fatigue using wearable devices will be developed. It will collect data using the sensors of the device (Heart Rate, Blood Oxygen level saturation, Blood pressure, and accelerometer) and it will be able to detect the incipient signs of fatigue. Several volunteers with IRB agreements wore the device for one week in their daily activities to collect the training data for the Machine Learning model. The machine learning model will be trained locally, and then deployed in the Cloud. The physiological data will be recorded by a wearable device and then send to be processed in the Cloud in real-time. When fatigue is detected, an alert will be triggered and sent to the device. This Artificial Intelligence application can be used especially by drivers to be warned in case of fatigue and by pilots, soldiers, or other workers. Therefore, it will be useful for keeping physical and mental health, as well as for avoiding unwanted accidents.
