Abstract(s)

Smart devices are extremely useful nowadays and incorporate a variety of tools. Their advanced technology allows them to multitask on the same device, being because of this and due to the convenience, agility, and accuracy they bring, they are becoming increasingly popular. Taking advantage of this, it is possible to use this technology to assist in many areas and for a variety of objectives. In areas such as the health sector, new devices are increasingly being used to aid in the treatment of patients in a preventive way, such as with degenerative mental diseases. This research explores the use of a smartwatch to capture heart rate, store it in a database, and display it on a web page, all in real time. The future significance of such a development is based on its connection with another segment of research that attempts to employ virtual reality to aid in the treatment of schizophrenia with a serious game, being able to perceive schizophrenics’ body behavior for health analysis. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2023.
