Safe & Sound T-Shirt for Monitoring Elderly and Physically Challenged Patients #11 : Time to wear it!

sakthi.1260

Hello guys,

 

Have been busy for a while, shifting work place and buggy internet.

 

So here comes this weeks blog post.

 

So far we tried to sense vitals, struggled capturing the Data learning the launchpad and the buggy Energia IDE and my noise problem, (well found out that was because of Ground Loop We fixed a little but still it exists, had to hold my breath for few seconds to get a proper values) . Still we made things move forward, well spent sleepless nights trying to connect the BLE Booster pack finally ending up with a alternate solution and pushing data into the cloud.

 

So what was missing? A notification to your loved ones when they are needed, turning on the Light when it is dark. So yeah this is my closing blog.

 

So the setup and everything is the same.

 

I'm just gonna show the Demo here. I don't want to fall from the bed so made a slight change in the LaunchPad Code, so that it relays the collected data to Edison.

We also attached a 5V led module to the Edison, So that if the Lighting is dull it would turn it ON. Well it worked as expected.

 

You can get all the codes, the Android APK into our GitHub Rep.

 

The Setup

We are using a Power Bank for powering the T-shirt.

Its Dark and I'm Falling....

Time to test things, I Just added a few lines to the unified program, so it pushes all the data collected by the sensor, I don't want to fall from the bed image.

 

 

Well the Edison Switched on the Light, Pushed the things into the Cloud, and our Page Displayed a Live feed with the Vitals,

 

 

The App

We also built the Android App.

 

Lets see if we get a Notification, Yeah We do got it,

So yeah we successfully done it!!

 

Yeah that ugly face is me image,image

 

So i should thank everyone who inspired, motivated and pushed us to complete this, I need to personally than my friend and partner

without whom these things would have just been only in the paper.

    Well actually a lot of improvisations and ideas are flowing on our heads, a lot of improvisations can be made with a endless possibilities using algorithms to predict diseases etc.

    We actually wanted to commercialize this so people could use to monitor people track health, even as a fitness tracker for athletes, couldn't find a proper channel or link or people to collaborate.

    I'll keep you posted DAB if we have a proper support and could progress through it. image

  • Nice finish.

     

    You did a great amount of work, so seeing the shirt in action gives you a nice basis to collect data and refine the sensors.

     

    Hopefully you will share your future enhancements with us.

     

    Thanks
