2 Use Case Description
2�1 Description
In developing countries access to regular medical checkups is limited, especially in rural areas.
Non-communicable diseases (NCD) such as hypertension and diabetes often go undetected
due to the absence of early warning systems. This use case introduces an AI-Based Health
Monitoring and Advisory System using wearable sensors and wireless communication. The
system collects vital health parameters like heart rate, SpO₂ levels, and body temperature,
processes them using AI models, and issues real-time alerts and advisory messages when
abnormal values are detected.
