- To get real-time physiological data of Astronauts during Spacewalk and training
- Real time data while working in dangerous environments such as mines, industrial sites, oil and gas industry, factories,
- Need of Contactless routine monitoring for improved healthy
- In this COVID-19 Pandemic, the real scenario of health management of world has collapsed to its worst which showed that we lack with the basic health
- Driver drowsiness is one of the major causes of serious traffic
