Integration of Alexa and Social IoT for Generation X A study on the Optimization use of Smart Treadmill to improve physical health

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging technology with a significant impact on social and technological domains, enabling interconnectivity between electronic devices for data transfer and storage via wireless networks, with minimal human intervention. The growing interest in technologies that improve everyday life, such as virtual assistants (Alexa, Siri), highlights their relevance for intuitively controlling connected devices. While popular with current generations, there is a promising opportunity to improve the well-being of Generation X through IoT. This article explores how the integration of voice commands and IoT capabilities can optimise the use of a treadmill by incorporating sensors to capture variables such as heart rate and oxygenation levels. The future implementation of an AI-powered virtual assistant aims to achieve maximum personalisation, improve habits and quality of life, and provide economic advantages over traditional gyms.
