Description: HealthBand is an innovative solution for detecting and locating a person whose health in in grave danger. It's mostly designed as a remote rescue system for people who are at risk of having stroke, cardiac arrest and heart attack. HealthBand is a smartphone synced mobile health monitoring bracelet capable of reading a human's vital signs (pulse rate and body-temperature). I've designed this project for my grandma, so that we could monitor her when no one's home to be with her. If the bracelet detects life threatening vital readings, the phone synced to the bracelet will automatically call my mom or my dad to prompt if my grandparents are ok. If grandma doesn't answer the phone, we would know that something could possibly have happened. THE BIGGER PICTURE: The project isn't only limited for tracking fellow individuals. The project can still be developed to meet medical standards. Once it does, hospitals can use the HealthBand project to monitor their outpatients. Patients who are at risk of unpredictable health conditions such us having Seizures, Stroke, Cardiac Arrest and Heart Attack. If an incident does occur, the bracelet can predict it before it even occurs,the HealthBand system would be able to notify the nearest hospital by sending the exact GPS coordinates of the person in need.
