“…They offer stopwatches as alarms and phone notifications, incoming calls, message and calendar notifications, application notifications, weather forecast, find the phone, unlock the phone, and event notification. In terms of sensing, they have a GPS, a heart rate sensor, an accelerometer, a gyro, a magnetic sensor, a pressure sensor, an ambient light sensor, a capacitive sensor, NFC, LTE, Wi-Fi, and others [5,6,81,82]. E. C. Nelson et al (2016) [83] demonstrated, through a survey in which data was collected on the internet, that people can influence their motivation and actions if they commit to the self-observation of their activity.…”

“…Among the accidents with sick leave, 3542 were serious incidents, and 489 were fatal accidents [4]. Depending on the work environment, there are greater or lesser risks which must be carefully analyzed [3,5,6]. Some professions involve the performance of high-risk tasks, where there is a possibility of lethal accidents occurring.…”

Wearable technologies are becoming a profitable means of monitoring a person’s health state, such as heart rate and physical activity. The use of the smartwatch is becoming consolidated, not only as a novelty but also as a very useful tool for daily use. In addition, other devices, such as helmets or belts, are beneficial for monitoring workers and the early detection of any anomaly. They can provide valuable information, especially in work environments, where they help reduce the rate of accidents and occupational diseases, which makes them powerful Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). The constant monitoring of the worker’s health can be done in real-time, through temperature, falls, noise, impacts, or heart rate meters, activating an audible and vibrating alarm when an anomaly is detected. The gathered information is transmitted to a server in charge of collecting and processing it. In the first place, this paper provides an exhaustive review of the state of the art on works related to electronics for human activity behavior. After that, a smart multisensory bracelet, combined with other devices, developed a control platform that can improve operators’ security in the working environment. Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things (AIoT) bring together the information to improve safety on construction sites, power stations, power lines, etc. Real-time and historic data is used to monitor operators’ health and a hybrid system between Gaussian Mixture Model and Human Activity Classification. That is, our contribution is also founded on the use of two machine learning models, one based on unsupervised learning and the other one supervised. Where the GMM gave us a performance of 80%, 85%, 70%, and 80% for the 4 classes classified in real time, the LSTM obtained a result under the confusion matrix of 0.769, 0.892, and 0.921 for the carrying-displacing, falls, and walking-standing activities, respectively. This information was sent in real time through the platform that has been used to analyze and process the data in an alarm system.

“…We can find many examples of smart Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) developments that can monitor vital signs and the parameters of the industrial environment. In the paragraphs that follow, the different ways in which wearables can be integrated into workplaces are described, and it is analysed how ecosystems of connected devices can help protect the individual [ 8 , 9 , 10 ].…”

It is estimated that we spend one-third of our lives at work. It is therefore vital to adapt traditional equipment and systems used in the working environment to the new technological paradigm so that the industry is connected and, at the same time, workers are as safe and protected as possible. Thanks to Smart Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and wearable technologies, information about the workers and their environment can be extracted to reduce the rate of accidents and occupational illness, leading to a significant improvement. This article proposes an architecture that employs three pieces of PPE: a helmet, a bracelet and a belt, which process the collected information using artificial intelligence (AI) techniques through edge computing. The proposed system guarantees the workers’ safety and integrity through the early prediction and notification of anomalies detected in their environment. Models such as convolutional neural networks, long short-term memory, Gaussian Models were joined by interpreting the information with a graph, where different heuristics were used to weight the outputs as a whole, where finally a support vector machine weighted the votes of the models with an area under the curve of 0.81.
