A smart IoT based health band capable of solving several problems

The problem Guardian solves

There were 1,460,388 deaths in the whole world due to coronavirus. Many deaths were due to the unavailability of proper medical help at the time of need. Also,Cardiovascular diseases are the number 1 cause of death globally, taking an estimated 17.9 million lives each year. Most of the deaths were due to late detection of disease or unavailability of medical help.Also, in this Coronavirus pandemic , there is no way to detect if people are maintaining social distancing or not.

So, we came up with Guardian, a smart healthband capable of solving all the listed problems, It has inbuilt heartrate and oximeter sensor which can be used for remote health monitoring.It can be used by heart patients as when any deviation in the health of the user is observed it provides realtime alerts through text SMS.

It can be used by Senior citizens living alone as it would help their loved ones keep track of their health through the mobile app and get real time updates if anything goes wrong.

It can also be used by hospitals especially during the pandemic times as it would help them to manage doctors properly as he would be able to attend to serious patients first.

And our band just costs as low as Rs.1500 so it can be used for mass production!!!

Challenges we ran into

We faced a lot of problem in wiring the hardware and also we spent hours fixing the oximeter sensor as it did not work properly.
