Body Heat Sensor

Inspiration

Looking through the dataset that was provided and online sources, I found that heat related injuries are common in football.

What it does

This device measures the users body temperature and warns the user if they are approaching dangerous levels.

How I built it

I used an arduino 101 and used the online editor that Arduino provides to code the arduino.

Challenges I ran into

One major challenge I ran into was that the arduino would not take the code that was being uploaded to it. I have yet to find a solution to this problem. I have searched many websites and none have worked. I also have switch the arduino to see if that was the problem. The problem itself may be the computer.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Coming up with the idea of having a body heat sensor.

What I learned

The uses of an arduino and a small bit of coding with an arduino

What's next for Body Heat Sensor

FIrst of all, I would like to solve the problem with the arduino not accepting the code that is being uploaded to it, and once that is complete I would like to add a heartbeat sensor and a moisture sensor. The heartbeat sensor will keep track of the user's heartbeat and warn the user if they are having an irregular heartbeat. The moisture sensor will also tell the user if they are sweating a lot and advise them to drink more water and/or take a rest. Also possibly getting rid of the arduino and moving towards something else that is smaller and water resistant.
