Abstract
The present review shows the need of advances in data analysis of stored information gathered from existing wearable health tracking technologies and the need of AI data interpretation based on large collections of data for positive and accurate prediction of health status and issues for smart aging systems. Public health diseases affect people across the world in early and older ages. The early detection of any anomalies in the life of a person is compulsory in the process of saving patient’s lives. Aging and unhealthy lifestyles are just some of the factors that worsen health in humans. These factors deteriorate life quality increasing the risk of development dangerous diseases. Among the leading causes of dead in the world one can find Tuberculosis, Alzheimer’s disease, Diabetes, Cancer, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Stroke, Ischemic heart disease (coronary artery disease) etc. Some of these diseases do not have noticeable symptoms in their early stages of development and only preventive medicine has shown to be the way to reduce the chances of getting ill [1]. As it is known, medicine has long been applied to cure and not until few decades ago to prevent.
