[attachment=16383]
Introduction
Why did we choose this topic?
Create an equipment to be used in everyday’s life for a medical purpose
Obtain the basic idea from “Wireless Heart Attack Detector with GPS” of Fall 2004
Most heart attack results from coronary artery disease (the restriction of blood flow to the heart) and it causes instant death of person
Objective
Goals of Design:
-The wireless heart attack detector captures abnormal heart beat signals.
-The alert system on the walking stick warns the user to realize his health condition.
-Bluetooth wireless emergency calling system calls for help at the moment of heart attack via mobile phone.
Benefits:
Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal transmitted wirelessly from the wrist to the
main unit on the stick. This avoids the inconvenience of the attachment of the stick to the wrists.
Automatic wireless emergency calling system via Bluetooth module
Warning mode giving the users a chance to avoid the fatal moment actively
