Marek RAŠKOVSKÝ, Tibor VINCE

This article investigates wireless communication technologies and the theoretical analysis of step measurement in the design of smart wearables. It examines various wireless technologies, including WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC, RFID, mobile networks, and satellite communication.

The importance of measuring steps using accelerometers and gyroscopes is emphasized, underscoring the necessity of integrating these sensors for accurate motion tracking. The solution analysis section evaluates critical metrics for activity trackers, detailing both software and hardware requirements. The hardware design focuses on development boards, heart rate sensors, and accelerometers, with 3D printing identified as the preferred method for case design. The article concludes by summarizing the design approach for a user-friendly activity tracker tailored to user needs.
