Smart Wearable
In this chapter, we are going to look at a simple healthcare application that can be created using Raspberry Pi 3. We are going to build a smart wearable with a 16x2 LCD that displays the location of the user, and also displays an accelerometer's values on the web/desktop/mobile interface. The target audience for this product would primarily be elderly people and the main use case being fall detection, which we are going to work with in Chapter 7, Smart Wearable and IFTTT .
We are going to look at the following in this chapter:
- IoT and healthcare
- Set up the required hardware
- Integrate the accelerometer and view live data
