Low cost solution for Heart Attack Detection with Walking Stick

The Walking Stick with Heart Attack Detection is equipment that is used daily to indicate heart condition, to detect heart attack and to call for emergency help. It was designed specially to help senior citizens and patients with heart disease. It consists of three basic sub projects ECG Circuit, Analysis Algorithm, GPS module, GSM module and microcontroller. The first unit is worn on the user’s wrist captures abnormal heart beat signal from the patient , and the rest units are installed in the stick. The microcontroller on the stick runs a heart attack algorithm. Warning is given out to the person about his heart condition. The emergency calling system calls for medical help at the moment of heart attack. The effectiveness of the proposed method is confirmed by experiments on a commercially available walking stick. Each of the subprojects responded positively. The proposed Walking Stick with Heart Attack Detection is cost effective and can save the lives of millions of old people by helping them in getting the earliest medical help in the condition of heart attack. Here we use GPS device and GSM module so at a worst conditions it will directly call 108 emergency and patent life will be saved.
