Abstract

Taking vital signs for children is a very complicated procedure. Children are hyperactive and in some cases do not like the feeling of devices in the body. There are many children who have various infections and diseases which have to be constantly monitored and for this it is necessary to have a device that allows the collection of vital signs such as heart rate and body temperature. This shows the importance of developing a device that is attractive to children and they can feel comfortable when they have it in contact with their body. Therefore, this article proposes the use of a smart band. This has two sensors: the heart rate sensor, which will allow obtaining the BPM and the temperature sensor that will be in charge of obtaining the body temperature. These two vital signs will be transmitted via Bluetooth wireless technology to any Android device that has the mobile application previously installed.
