Inspiration

This project hit home for us and was inspired based on Simon's experiences living with his grandma. Simon's grandmother is 85 years old and is cared for by him, his parents and his siblings. Due to her age and medical conditions, someone always has to be home to take care of her, but even that does not ensure immediate response like last year when she fell in the bathroom and neither him nor his family knew for an hour. This is what HealthSync aims to solve. A portable, easy to use device so that family members can be immediately alerted when their elderly family members get injured or have a medical emergency so that this never happens again.

What it does

HeartSynch uses an esp32 development board to receive biometric data via I2C and through digital pins. This data is provided by a number of biometric sensors included in HeartSynch: accelerometers, pulse sensors, blood oxygen sensors, and temperature sensors. The ESP32 takes this data and hosts a webpage to display it. For the software, the HeartSync accepts data from the electrical components and displays them in our own custom website. Using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, we created a local webpage that will numerically and graphically show the user the resting heart rate, body temperature, blood oxygen level, call button, and any sudden motion as warnings. 3D printing is the method used to manufacture the HeartSync prototype for quick design iteration.
