Safe & Sound T-Shirt for Monitoring Elderly and Physically Challenged Patients #2 : The Story

Hello guys, hope you all are doing good. Seems there is some delay in shipping the kits,so I was wonder what to post for the blog, I thought of posting the Video streaming and Cloud part, but i'll be too vague without the T-*** part,so decided to write the reason to make this T-shirt.

 

There are a lot of health monitors, activity trackers around us, locally connected to mobile or to a cloud.But still they lacked something.

 

We saw paralyzed and elderly people, who always require someone to be around to help with things,leaving them alone even for 30 minutes. The usual health monitors, activity trackers, patient monitors they just track temperature and pulse,some with accelerometers sends a notification if there is a sudden impact,but something more is required.

 

We searched for monitors, but there were only these IP cameras that continuously sends a camera feed or that can be turned ON remotely (the usual baby monitor stuff).

 

So we decided to make one,a one that could react and intimate, relay data on a manual button press or from the movements and vitals of the patient. You stay near or away from them, you'll know when things are going wrong and when you are really needed by them.

    I like the idea of the T-shirt for close contact sensors. It will allow you to get some vital sensors directly to the skin for temperature, moisture (sweat) detection, skin galvanic changes, heart rate…

    I agree with DAB, this idea has some very useful and practical capabilities even beyond the elderly and physically challenged.  This would seem useful for folks that are in extreme conditions such as extreme cold or extreme heat to help prevent one from too much exposure.

     

    With regards to not having the physical hardware yet, you could start planning for your project and create your design documentation.  The specs of the devices are readily available so you could use that info as well as the project requirements to create your architecture so you have a game plan to go with.   Just a suggestion.

     

    Cheers,

    I like the idea of the T-shirt for close contact sensors.

     

    It will allow you to get some vital sensors directly to the skin for temperature, moisture (sweat) detection, skin galvanic changes, heart rate, pulse, breathing rate, etc.

     

    Lots of useful capability there.
