Emergency Pulse Rate Monitoring and Detecting the Location of Handicapped People using an Embedded System

The wearable devices have long been used for various factors like for personal security purpose, for detecting multiple health parameters such as sleep apnea, blood pressure etc. Smartphones have become one of the necessary gadgets of our daily routine. So we can use its potential to make our lives more efficient and advanced. This project is specially built considering the handicapped peoples' needs which describes the Android Application that will continuously monitor the pulse rate of the user & collect the data. The user just needs to press the power button on the smartphone for the predefined time to send this data to the nearest people whenever he/she will feel insecure or weak. The location of the user will be sent through the text message in an emergency situation and also alarm will generate. This message includes the pulse rate details, contact number and changes in the location of handicapped people so that further emergency actions will be taken. The GPS system and KNN algorithm are be used to finding out the nearest people of the user.
