Heat stroke and dehydration are critical health situations which many people may not identify until their condition is serious and requires a hospital visit. These conditions disproportionately affect the elderly, young children, and those with poor health. For this project, we developed a network of wearable sensors that monitor an individual’s heart rate, body temperature, galvanic skin response, and ambient temperature and humidity to determine their risk of heat stroke and dehydration. Our algorithm analyzes and evaluates the data collected by the sensors to determine if the user’s vital signs are within safe limits. The Arduino board on the device uses a Wi-Fi enabled chip to connect to an application on the user’s phone to keep them informed of their risk level and advise them to act if they are in danger of heat stroke or dehydration.
