Future Work• Machine learning models to predict heat strokes, fainting,

and heart attacks, suicides and sudden deaths

• More sensors and use of internet of things provides potential for big data analysis on leading to accurate health reporting

• Chic and affordable version of the wearable device with analytics dashboard for the general public. An alternative to the Apple Watch, Samsung watch, Fitbit, etc.
