Safe heart

Safe Heart

GSOC 2015 Proposal for Systers

Name and Introduction

Kirti Choudhary

I am a Final year student pursuing BTECH in Information Technology at Govt.

Engineering College of Bikaner. I am originally from Sikar City, Rajasthan

Abstract

The threat of heart disease isn't a new one. It's been glaring at us for years,

making us question every detail of our complicated lifestyle choices, diet and

level of physical activity. It's been a leading killer in the West and has now

aggressively made its way to India. The purpose of this application is to

develop a Heart Attack Detection android application for heart patient. A new

mobile app compatible with the Android that can immediately alert doctors,

friends, and loved ones when an unexpected health event — such as a heart

attack or fall — occurs. Mobile technology with this android application can

save many lives. Although the app is primarily targeting older people who are

at greater risk for falls and heart attacks.

Motivation

I want to create this project because Heart attack rate is increasing day by day.

Sometime patients get heart attack but don’t get any help because they can’t

inform their relatives for help. So this android application would be very

useful in such conditions.

Proposal Design

The purpose of this Android application is the detection of heart attack and

inform patient’s relatives,doctor and friends for help. In this project there will

be two phase.

1.Android Programming

2.Arduino Programming

Android Programming

This Android App is for caretakers of patients.In this phase we will create

Android application which will show patient’s heart rate and pulse w ith the

help of IR pulse Sensor which will be wore by patient on finger tip or wrist.

Android app will be connected with Arduino board via low power Bluetooth

technology. So that Heart rate in app will be regularly updated if it will be in

Bluetooth range of device{Which is present on finger tip of patient}.

This app also have a feature to find my device which is wore by patient.When

Caretaker click on find my device then a ring alert command execute and send

to arduino board via Bluetooth.By ringing, user can easliy find his device.

This is the mockup of android app. In this fig. “0

bpm” shows heart beat per minute and pulse will

be shown in the green graph.

Arduino Programming

In the second phase there will be an Arduino board with IR pulse sensor,

Bluetooth module, GPS ,speaker and GSM module.

Infrared Pulse Sensor

Arduino Board with

Bluetooth,gps ,speaker and

GSM module

How It Will Work

Step 1. Patient will need to wear IR sensor to his/her finger tip otherwise on

wrist. This IR pulse sensor will be connected with Arduino board.

Step 2. The sensor itself consists of an infrared emitter and detector mounted

side-by-side and pressed closely against the skin. When the heart pumps,

blood pressure rises sharply, and so does the amount of infrared light from

the emitter that gets reflected from blood tissues and back to the detector. The

detector passes more current when it receives more light, which in turn

causes a voltage drop to enter the amplifier circuitry. Result of this is Pulse

generation.

Step 3. All information of contact will be already present in Arduino board

with GSM module. So that he/she can save contact no. in SIM card which will

be inserted in Arduino GSM slot.

Step 4. Users set individual preferences on what they consider to be normal

levels of each criteria. If the sensor detects a change outside of these limits, a

real-time alert is sent to designated caregivers, family members, or other

contacts with information about the user's location and condition.

Step 5. The Android application i.e “Safe Heart” will be connected with

Arduino board via Bluetooth because Bluetooth is low power consumption

technology. Arduino will continuously transmit pulse data so that “Safe Heart”

app could show pulse and Heart rate. This app will be for caretaker of patient.

So if patient get heart attack then Arduino board will first look for phone in

Bluetooth range. If phone which is connected with this board then Arduino

will trigger an alarm to Android phone. If phone is not in Bluetooth range then

Arduino will trigger a message and gps coordinates to contact no. present in

SIM card of GSM module.

Step 6. The Gadget which is on patient’s finger tip or wrist also features an

SOS button, which allows the user to send an emergency message to pre-

determined contacts. It will also simultaneously place a phone call to your

primary contact.

Step 7. By this alert system caretaker of patient can always attach with

patient.

Connection of App And Arduino

Implementation

First step would be deep study of interaction & code flow Arduino and

Android.

To develop android application, Use of java programming language with

Eclipse IDE and ADT

Designing the User Interface.

Use openclipart and adobe photoshop for creating icons.

Creating IR pulse sensor body to wear at finger tip.

To program Arduino board, Use of C programming language with

Arduino IDE.

Hardware Implementation: Arduino board, Bluetooth module, IR pulse

sensor, GPS,GSM module, Speaker.

Final Release

About me

I am a FOSS enthusiast & familiar with FOSS from 2 years.

I have no commitments during summer.

I have working knowledge of Java,C,C++ ,Visual basic & Python.

I take Summer of code as an opportunity to get engaged with Systers

Community as contributor and continue this association even after

Gsoc.

I would not just based my being the right person for the task on my

proficiency in programming, but also on the understanding of logic

that will make things work, a prior knowledge and understanding of

what the mobile development project explains and also the readiness

to contributes in terms of code and innovative ideas for the

betterment and completeness of the task.

I have worked on coding projects in Android and I am very excited

about this opportunity because I worked hard in this week. I am

willing and ready to extend the amount of time I input into the

development of this project.I’ll give my best.

I would love to be contacted if any part of this proposal is not clear to

you.

Thank you for considering this proposal and for your time.
