i-Protect

An effective emergency device for life-or-death situations

How does it work?

• With the press of a button (or with a pulse rate spike), the device is activated, retrieving the user's current location
• The device then sends this location to relevant authorities and family members via a series of SMS messages
• Each message has a Google maps link that helps in tracking

Technology Stack

i-Protect is powered by the ATMega328P-AU microcontroller and houses a DS-3231 RTC module, a SIM-800L compatible port, and an inbuilt pulse-rate sensor. The execution program is written entirely in Arduino.
