The advancement of biomedical technology through wearable devices enables continuous physiological monitoring; however, challenges remain regarding user comfort, acceptance, and data processing efficiency. This study aims to analyze the application of Human-Centered Design in edge intelligent wearable devices for continuous physiological monitoring. The research was conducted in one manufacturing industry in Surabaya City, East Java Province, using a mixed-method approach. Data were collected through interviews with 15 informants and prototype evaluations involving 40 respondents through usability assessments and physiological parameter measurements. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis and system performance evaluation. The results indicate that a human-centered approach improves user comfort and acceptance, while edge intelligence supports more responsive real-time physiological monitoring. This study contributes to the development of adaptive and user-oriented wearable biomedical systems.
