Smart Medical Bracelet

Inspiration

I was inspired by the problems faced by patients with heart diseases and epilepsy. Many emergencies happen suddenly, and people may not get help in time. I wanted to create a simple and smart solution that can help monitor patients and react quickly in dangerous situations.

What it does

The project is a smart medical monitoring system. It measures heart rate in real time using a sensor. It can help detect abnormal situations. In the future, it will send alerts, make emergency calls, and share the patient’s location and medical information.

How we built it

How I built it

I built a working prototype using Arduino Nano and a MAX30100 heart rate sensor. I connected the components on a breadboard and programmed the Arduino to read and display heart rate data. This prototype is the first step toward building a wearable smart bracelet.

Challenges we ran into

I faced some challenges such as:Understanding how the sensor worksGetting stable and accurate readingsConnecting hardware components correctlyManaging time and learning new things

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I faced some challenges such as:Understanding how the sensor worksGetting stable and accurate readingsConnecting hardware components correctlyManaging time and learning new thingsI am proud that I:Built a real working prototypeLearned how to use sensors with ArduinoCreated a project that can help peopleContinued working even when it was difficult

What we learned

How to use Arduino and sensorsBasic programming and problem solvingHow to turn an idea into a real projectThe importance of patience and continuous learning

What's next for Smart Medical Bracelet
