“…Engineers, architects, designers, and planners have a unique opportunity to create a healthier living, learning, and working environment by reducing the use of wireless technologies as they produce negative levels of (EMR). 19 Although it is better and less costly to include radiation-free solutions during the initial design and construction stages, 20 there is numerous potential for improvement in existing buildings. Figure 4 shows a Flowchart of instant Processing (EMF).…”

In this study, the electromagnetic waves were defined with an explanation of their physical properties and negative biological effects on humans, where the importance of research appears in defining the concept of sustainability, leading to the construction of guiding standards that help designers to reach for sustainable architecture for healthy buildings. Accordingly, the research hypothesizes that sustainable buildings are high-efficiency buildings that reduce negative impacts on the environment and human health, and are designed to be economical in resource consumption. In this study, the sources and negative effects of electromagnetic fields on human health were identified as a problem and some suggestions were presented to solve them and prevent negative electromagnetic radiations from affecting human health by setting standards for protecting buildings from the negative effects of electromagnetic radiation. The main objective of this study is to reach a set of results that enable the achievement of eco-friendly buildings that take into account human needs and health.

In this present article the article is carried out the systematic review in various databases and web portals such as: EBSCO, ProQuest, Science Direct, Scielo and Scopus. The bibliography is made up of 20 publications between 2010 -2021, organized according to: title, author, year, country, database, method, results, measurement instruments, discussions and conclusions, with their respective references. The results show the great importance and impact of the protection against electromagnetic waves with different materials that recently (2021) is being studied with greater interest by the great power countries. New technologies and properties such as the reflection and absorption of electromagnetic waves, in which within the absorption we find materials that waterproof the entry of electromagnetic waves in the construction, such as: the manufacture of polymeric compounds that makes the magnetic properties lose, compound thermoplastic polyurethane, carbonyl iron dispersant, carbon fibers, nano carbon fibers, etc. And in the property of reflection we find the implementation of metallic materials in which I center my work, such as, for example: metallic steel meshes, aluminum, metallic fabrics, conductive wires and fabrics, transparent wood as a solution to the passage of electromagnetic waves and contributions to the environment. It was concluded that the protection against electromagnetic waves is of great importance for our health and care, implementing materials such as metallic fabrics in the construction at the time of the tilework of homes, buildings, etc.

The number of older people needing healthcare is a growing global phenomenon. The assistance in long-term care comprises a complex of medical, nursing, rehabilitation, and social assistance services. The cost is substantial, but technology can help reduce spending by ensuring efficient health services and improving the quality of life. Advances in artificial intelligence, wireless communication systems, and nanotechnology allow the creation of intelligent home care systems avoiding hospitalization with evident cost containment. They are capable of ensuring functions of recognition of activities, monitoring of vital functions, and tracking. However, it is essential to also have information on location in order to be able to promptly intervene in case of unforeseen events or assist people in carrying out activities in order to avoid incorrect behavior. In addition, the automatic detection of physical activities performed by human subjects is identified as human activity recognition (HAR). This work presents an overview of the positioning system as part of an integrated HAR system. Lastly, this study contains each technology’s concepts, features, accuracy, advantages, and limitations. With this work, we want to highlight the relationship between HAR and the indoor positioning system (IPS), which is poorly documented in the literature.
