Abstract

Short-range, wireless communications in the vicinity of, or inside, a human body (but not limited to humans) are specified in this standard. It uses existing industrial scientific medical (ISM) bands as well as frequency bands approved by national medical and/or regulatory authorities. These sensors provide accurate and reliable information about the situation or activity occurring at any time. This high responsiveness of these sensors has made lives easy and safe. This article will perform an investigation on the WBAN's application for motion detection based on android smartwatch. The main problem is how to the sensors that attached on the human body can send of data via Bluetooth and read the motion and orientation of the body and display in the graph form. However, if the sensors do not match, the result of output display inappropriate. This article proposed method by using accelerometer and gyroscope sensors which are integrated with smartwatch to overcome the main problem. This application will display results in the form of numeric values and then convert in graph form. These results have proven that WBAN's application for motion sensing can be used for detection of motion and orientation via Bluetooth based on android smartwatch.
