We were inspired by the courageous EMS workers that respond to natural disasters in low signal environments filled with hazards. To help aid these heroes we decided to create a gauntlet that leverages all different types of sensors. These sensors include a pulse sensor to check on victims and the user and ensure proper health. We included a temperature and a humidity sensor to determine the quality of the direct environment the EMS workers were responding in. We also included a flame detector to alert the user of an impending hazard with a built in ranged sensor. Finally we included a wireless flashlight mounted to the gauntlet to help the user localize victims and have both hands free while administering aid. We built it with a raspberry pi 4b as our microcomputer interfacing with our LCD screen and microcontrollers and sending data back to the home base. The microcontrollers, Arduino Uno R3, were used to power and control peripheral sensors. We used bread boards to test and develop our circuits and electrical components to increase performance. We used 3D printing to create our chassis and hold together our components. We used a mix of fasteners to create a modular fit that could be fitted to the user. We ran into a series of challenges with the microcontrollers and connectivity. We're proud of our fitted project that is able to detect crucial information for EMS personnel. We're proud of our pulse sensor and compatibility between systems. We learned significantly about different electrical principles, computer science principles, and manufacturing principles. Moving forward we are looking forward to integrating AI to help our video feed go to a facial recognition module that feeds medical information to the EMS personnel while they're in the field. Furthermore we'd like to add voice module and commands for the sensors to keep our hands free theme for the responders.
