Introduction

The recent years have witnessed an unprecedented surge in the

evolution and utilization of wearable technologies, encompassing a
diverse array of devices designed for human wearability, including
wristwatches, glasses, chest straps, rings, and even prosthetic sockets.
These wearable devices form a crucial part of the Internet of Medical
Things (IoMT), alongside implantable, ambient, and stationary devices
commonly employed in healthcare settings. Typically interconnected
within a network, these devices facilitate remote communication with
mobile devices.

Wearable devices are equipped with an assortment of sensors, ranging

from temperature sensors to accelerometers, optical sensors, and
biometric sensors. While the precision of certain sensor readings may
not yet match those of stationary hospital devices, they are often
deemed acceptable depending on the context and application

Within the realm of IoMT devices, sensors play a pivotal role in

capturing extensive data pertaining to human interactions, presenting a
rich source from which machine learning (ML) algorithms can extract
valuable patterns and insights. This integration of sensor data and
human interactions forms the basis for various healthcare and elderly
care applications, spanning from health state assessment through
activity detection, fall detection, stress assessment, fitness tracking,
vital signs monitoring, to diseases' diagnosis.

The application of machine learning techniques to analyze and learn

from human body signals recorded by wearable devices has emerged
as a vibrant area of research over the past decade, with numerous
published studies in this domain. Despite this surge in research efforts
and the widespread adoption of wearable devices, particularly
smartwatches, only a handful of machine learning applications for
wearable devices have successfully transitioned into commercial
markets.
For instance, notable examples include Apple Watch's irregular
rhythm notification feature, which received approval from the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2018, albeit accompanied by
an extensive list of warnings and precautions
(https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/cdrh_docs/reviews/DEN180044.pdf).
Another instance is Eko's heart murmur detection algorithm, recently,
although it pertains to an electronic stethoscope rather than a personal
wearable device. Furthermore,
Some wearable devices previously used for monitoring are no longer
available in the market. Despite the substantial research endeavors, the
practical and reliable implementation of machine learning techniques
in the domain of wearable devices confronts numerous challenges.

While several review papers have addressed challenges associated

with wearable devices, previous surveys primarily focused on features,
types, monitored diseases, research prototypes, and broader challenges
like system efficiency, user perception, cost, social inclusion, and
ethical concerns. Another survey concentrated on commercially
available wearable devices, emphasizing communication security
issues, power efficiency, and wearable computing, without specifically
exploring challenges confronting machine learning applications in
healthcare wearable devices. This current study aims to delve into
these specific challenges to provide a comprehensive understanding of
the hurdles faced by machine learning applications within the domain
of healthcare wearable devices.
Chapter 2
BASIC CONCEPT

Fitbit watches are wearable devices designed to track various

aspects of health and fitness, including activity levels, exercise,
sleep patterns, heart rate, and more. The basic concept of a Fitbit
watch revolves around encouraging users to lead healthier
lifestyles by providing them with insights into their daily activities
and health metrics.

How It Works:

1.Sensors Fitbit watches come equipped with multiple sensors

like an accelerometer, heart rate monitor, gyroscope, altimeter,
and GPS (in some models). These sensors work together to collect
data related to physical movements, heart rate, steps taken, floors
climbed, distance traveled, active minutes, and sleep patterns.

2. Data Collection: Throughout the day and night, the sensors

continuously collect data on various metrics based on the wearer's
activities and movements. For instance, the accelerometer tracks
movement patterns to detect steps, distance, and active minutes.
The heart rate monitor measures the wearer's heart rate
continuously or at intervals, depending on the settings.

3. Wireless Connectivity: Fitbit watches sync wirelessly with

smartphones or computers through Bluetooth technology. This
connectivity allows the collected data to be transferred to the Fitbit
mobile app or web dashboard, where users can view and analyze
their activity and health statistics.

4. Fitbit App & Dashboard: The Fitbit app and online dashboard
provide users with a user-friendly interface to view their data, set
fitness goals, track progress, log food intake, record workouts,
monitor sleep quality, and access additional health-related
features.
5. Motivation & Tracking: Fitbit watches use this collected data to
provide users with personalized insights, progress updates,
reminders to move, goal celebrations, and challenges to encourage
increased activity and healthier habits. The devices utilize
gamification techniques like badges and achievements to motivate
users to achieve their fitness goals.

6. Sleep Tracking: Fitbit watches also monitor sleep patterns,

including time asleep, restlessness, sleep stages (light, deep,
REM), and provide insights into sleep quality. Users can gain
insights into their sleep habits and make adjustments to improve
sleep quality.

7. Heart Rate Monitoring: Continuous or periodic heart rate

monitoring aids in assessing cardiovascular fitness, providing
insights into exercise intensity zones, and detecting irregularities
or changes in heart rate patterns.

Overall, Fitbit watches work by leveraging various sensors to

collect comprehensive data on users' activities, exercise, sleep, and
heart rate. This data is then synced with the Fitbit app, allowing
users to gain insights into their fitness levels, track progress, set
goals, and make informed decisions about their health and
wellness routines.
2.1. Wearable Device Signals for Learning

The human body can be conceptually understood as an amalgamation of various

systems (circulatory, nervous, respiratory, digestive, etc.), operating through the
reception of inputs and the generation of outputs, as depicted in Figure 2. Inputs
encompass inhaled air, water, food, visual stimuli encompassing scenes and
objects observed daily, auditory signals from sounds and voices heard, sensory
feedback from tactile interactions, and olfactory perceptions from scents
encountered throughout the day. Meanwhile, outputs comprise exhaled air,
bodily excretions such as urine, feces, and sweat, skin moisture, body
temperature, blood (in cases of injury or medical testing), energy expended
through physical movements or cognitive activities, and vocal outputs ranging
from normal speech to singing or shouting.

Examining these inputs and outputs allows for a partial prediction of an

individual's health status, potential disease diagnoses, and recommendations for
therapeutic interventions. Monitoring these diverse inputs and outputs
necessitates the use of wearable devices worn throughout the day. These devices
serve as essential tools for capturing and analyzing crucial physiological and
environmental data, enabling a comprehensive understanding of an individual's
health and well-being.
