Abstract: A system and approach for integrating of health parameters from wearable cloud connected access control devices to provide life safety measures, and also for controlling access to facilities. A monitoring system may incorporate a device for a wearer or holder and a sensor at an entrance to or exit from a specified facility, and a processor connected to the sensor. The device may sense a parameter of the wearer or holder selected from a group of items incorporating heartbeat, blood pressure, blood oxygen, pulse rate, and body temperature. If the selected parameter indicates an abnormal or worsening condition, then the wearer or holder may obtain access to a hospital or health care facility. Health professionals may hold or wear a device that permits them to enter a restricted facility to aid a person within the facility needing medical assistance.
