We developed a wrist-worn smartwatch that reads and displays health and wellness data in real time. The device integrates sensors to measure heart rate, blood oxygen level, blood alcohol content, and motion, with all information displayed on a small screen attached to the watch. Users control smartwatch operations manually through buttons on the device, which also displays date and time. The watch is powered using rechargeable batteries.

To make the design portable and validate our work, we created a custom printed circuit board and tested our design. We then assembled the components into a custom case to house the watch parts. The smartwatch we developed is intended as a personal health awareness tool rather than a medical device, allowing users to monitor their health information in real time.
