Inspiration
With an ageing population in many countries, there is a need for care for elderly, especially those who live alone.
What it does
Our project has a heart monitor, which sends a message to the watch if the heartrate drops . In the future Watch will be onnected to an Android App. Second module connected to the Watch is the Kitchen Module. It sends info to the watch, when the water is boiling and let's user remotely turn off the kithcen equipment. Watch, Kitchen Module and Heartrate sensor are in one network.
Second part of the project is an Emergency Button. After pressing it it will send an emergency message to the officials using an app on our Android Device.
How we built it
Challenges we ran into
Limited programming experience, lack of RAM in Microbits. Impossible Bluetooth programming
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We got a working prototype with basic functions. We managed to make an app to contact the emergency services
What we learned
Android studio, teamwork, leadership. How to translate Python to C++
What's next for Integrated Support Project for the Ageing
Integrating the Heart Sensor and Watch into the emergency button and the app so our system is fully integrated
