PROJECT NAME

GPS BASED CARE FOR ELDERLY AND

DISABLED
INTRODUCTION

AN EMBEDDED SYSTEM IS A SPECIAL-PURPOSE COMPUTER

SYSTEM DESIGNED TO PERFORM A DEDICATED FUNCTION.
SINCE THE SYSTEM IS DEDICATED TO SPECIFIC TASKS,
DESIGN ENGINEERS CAN OPTIMIZE IT, REDUCING THE SIZE
AND COST OF THE PRODUCT. EMBEDDED SYSTEM IS FAST
GROWING TECHNOLOGY IN VARIOUS FIELDS LIKE
INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION, HOME APPLIANCES,
AUTOMOBILES, AERONAUTICS ETC. EMBEDDED
TECHNOLOGY USES PC OR A CONTROLLER TO DO THE
SPECIFIED TASK AND THE PROGRAMMING IS DONE USING
ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE PROGRAMMING OR EMBEDDED C.
AS WE ALL KNOW LIFE FOR ANY
DISABLED/ELDERLY PERSON CAN BECOME VERY
MISERABLE SINCE THAY ARE CONSTANTLY
DEPENDENT ON OTHERS.TO REDUCE THEIR
DEPENDEBILITY WE HAVE COME UP WIYH THE IDEA OF
GPS BASED DISABLED/ELDERLY ASSISTANT.
THE IDEA IS TO GUIDE THE
DISABLED/ELDERLY IN A BUSY TRAFFIC AREA.HE WILL
BE INFORMED ABOUT THE NAME OF PLACE HE IS
STANDING.ALSO HE CAN GET DIRECTIONS FOR THE
DESTINATION HE WANTS TO GO.ALSO WE HAVE PUT
OBSTACLE DETECTORS WHICH WILL WARN THE BLIND
PERSON OF ANY COLLISION.
ALSO WE HAVE ATTACHED BIOMEDICAL
SENSORS WHICH WILL GIVE HIS/HER’S HEALTH STATUS
BODY TEMPERATURE AND PULSE RATE TO THE
CONCERNED AUTHORITIES VIA SMS.

DESCRIPTION
HERE THERE ARE 2 UNITS:

• ONBOARD UNIT
• HOSPITAL UNIT

SOLDIER UNIT:
THIS UNIT IS PLACED ON THE SOLDIER .IT HAS MAINLY 3 PARTS:
• BIOMEDICAL SENSORS
• KEY KEY PAD
• GPS+GSM UNIT

• BIOMEDICAL SENSORS
HERE TO FIND THE HEALTH STATUS OF ELDERLY/DISABLED WE ARE
USING A BODY TEMP SENSOR AS WELL AS PULSE RATE SENSOR
SENSOR.THESE SENSORS WILL MEASEURE THE BODY TEMPERATURE
AND THE PULSE RATE OF SOLDIER AND WILL BE STORED IN µC
MEMORY.
HEALTH INDICATOR:
THIS UNIT IS PLACED ON THE ELDERLY/DISABLED.HERE THE
ELECTRODES ARE PLACED ON VARIOUS PARTS OF BODY..THIS
GIVES THE PULSE RATE OF THE ELDERLY/DISABLED .THIS DATA IS
THEN AMPLIFIED USING THE INSTRUMENTATION AMPLIFIER.THE
µC RECEIVES THIS DATA AND CALCULATES THE PULSE RATE OF
BODY FOR EVERY 30 SEC

• 4 KEY KEY PAD

HERE WE ARE GIVING A 4 KEYS AS A FACILITY TO THE

ELDERLY/DISABLED CAN ASK 4 DIFFERENT KINDS OF HELP TO
HOSPITAL BASE CAMP

• GPS+GSM UNIT

THE GPS IS USED TO LOG THE LONGITUDDE AND THE

LATTITUDE OF SOLDIER.WHICH IS STORED IN THE µC MEMORY.
THE GSM UNIT SENDS AN SMS TO THE ARMY BASE CAMP
CONTAINING THE HEALTH PARAMETERS AND THE LOCATION OF
ELDERLY/DISABLED

HOSPITAL UNIT
UPON RECEIVING THE SMS ,THE VB S/W SORTS THE
ELDERLY/DISABLED’S LOCATION BASED ON THE GPS CO-
ORDINATES ALSO THE HEALTH STATUS IS DISPLAYED.IN THIS WAY
THE HOSPITAL OFFICIAL’S CAN KEEP A TRACK OF ALL THEIR
PATIENTS.
