Health monitoring smart device for firefighters

Abstract

“Health Monitoring Smart Device for Firefighters” is a new research project with ideas consisting of some older research projects which were carried out by several independent researchers. In this research, our main goal or objective is to design a smart portable health monitoring system that would consistently measure key health components of firefighters during evacuation or rescue events. In order to perform suitable operations and accurate data analysis, we have used Arduino IDE software to implement Arduino-based designs for our convenience. Saving the lives of firefighters is very much important since they play the key role of saving other humans, animals, and socio-economic properties. The first two designs proved to be obsolete because they only measure a single health factor. In response to these problems we then devised another design and the final design now measures some key health features of firefighters. Even though in reality we didn’t implement our device on firefighters, we made several experiments; that is implementing the device on our colleagues with several environmental conditions both indoor and outdoor.
