Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a wearable lpwan fitness monitor for pulse rate and walking activity tracking.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
With proactive emergency aid capabilities and a comprehensive approach to monitoring vital signs and physical activity, this innovative wearable fitness monitoring device reassures consumers. The system provides real-time monitoring of the user's body temperature, walking activity, and pulse rate through the seamless integration of state-of-the-art sensors with dependable wireless communication technology. With proactive emergency support, our solution prioritizes users' safety and general wellness while allowing them to keep informed about their fitness levels.
The problem that this invention attempts to solve is the need for a comprehensive wearable fitness monitoring system. This system provides proactive support in times of emergency, in addition to monitoring vital signs and physical activity. Conventional fitness trackers usually ignore real-time emergency response functionality in favor of measurements like heart rate and step count. Moreover, existing emergency alert systems may not be able to recognize urgent events on their own or perform well in isolated areas with poor connectivity.

This comprehensive system guarantees peace of mind with proactive emergency help features and offers customers insightful information about their fitness levels. Through the integration of cutting-edge sensor technology with effective wireless communication protocols, this breakthrough improves user safety and well-being in difficult or distant settings. Because LPWAN technology is incorporated, data interchange and connectivity are guaranteed, making the solution flexible and appropriate for a range of applications. The WLPFT_PRWNode and the WLPFR_PRWNode are the two main components of the system, each of which performs a different role. The main monitoring unit is the WLPFT_PRWNode, which is furnished with a variety of sensors such as a body temperature sensor, GPS module, MEMS accelerometer, pulse sensor, and RTC module. It continuously collects information about the user's physical activities and vital signs. Real-time pulse rate data is recorded by the pulse sensor, and walking activity is tracked by the MEMS accelerometer, which provides information on the user's daily routine and fitness level. In addition, the GPS module makes location tracking easier, which makes the device much more helpful in emergency scenarios.
Through the use of the LoRa module and the power-efficient ESP32 Wi-Fi board, the WLPFT_PRWNode establishes wireless communication inside an LPWAN network, guaranteeing connectivity even in isolated locations with inadequate infrastructure. The gadget automatically sounds an alarm when it senses criticality, such as erratic pulse patterns or abrupt stops in movement. The WLPFR_PRWNode receives these warnings and processes them further before forwarding them to other nodes via the LoRa-based LPWAN network. This could entail using a personalized mobile app and SMS to notify the user's chosen contacts or emergency services. For stable communication and the reliable transmission of warnings and real-time location data, the gadget depends on the GSM modem.
