| Title |
IoT Platform for the monitoring of first responders |
| Supervisor |
R. Coutinho |
| Description |
Natural and man-made disasters cause distresses, economic losses, and deaths. Search and rescue (SAR) missions pose significant physiological stress and a myriad of hazards that threaten the life of first responders. The proposed project is to design an IoT platform of wearable sensing instruments and communication systems for the real-time monitoring and telemetry of first responders’ health status. This will enhance the safety of responders and life support of victims. Wearable sensors on first responders will report physiological signals (e.g., heart rate, respiration, skin temperature and blood O2 levels) and location information to a command post. This physiological monitoring will be used to assess first responders’ health conditions in a real-time manner and dispatch missions to rescue first responders in immediate need. This project shall design and develop a wearable IoT platform for the real-time data acquisition of physiological data, a wireless and mobile communication component for data transfer from the wearable IoT platform to a command post (monitoring center), and a back-end software component for data visualization. |
