Human Safety Device To Monitor Kids, Elderly, And Sick

EFY Tested Human Safety Device

This human safety device offers a compact, reliable solution for detecting, monitoring, and responding to emergencies involving vulnerable individuals.

Built using an IndusBoard Coin, it addresses the urgent need for immediate assistance, particularly for the elderly, children, and those with medical conditions.

The device integrates a MEMS sensor for fall detection, a temperature sensor for health monitoring, and GPS and GSM modules for location tracking and communication. Automatic and manual response capabilities enhance its effectiveness.
