Desarrollo de un dispositivo que monitoree signos vitales en personas expuestas a bajas temperaturas

Abstract

This project focuses on the importance of knowing vital signs in extremely cold weather to prevent life-threatening complications. Additionality the lack of adequately monitoring health parameters can lead to overexposure and ultimately death. This project aims to provide people exposed to freezing conditions with detailed data of their body temperature and heart rate, allowing them to be alert to potential hypothermia risks. The alarm system integrated into the project warns users when their core temperature is in the mild hypothermia range, prompting them to take preventive measures. If exposure continues and health conditions worsen, the user can issue a manually triggered alarm so that they can be reached for help using the geolocation displayed on the web server. The key advantage of the project lies in the constant remote monitoring which helps to avoid frostbite and other complications by not following specific recommendations for each level of hypothermia.
