Rescue Wear the Cutting Edge Wearable Technology for Emergency Operations

: An electronic gadget that may be worn on the wrist of children or adults to monitor and keep an eye on them is called a wearable smart locator band. People are often explorers by nature, thus they like to try new things in life. However, unexpected event of breathing difficulty, choking symptoms, and loss of balance can all result in abnormal conditions or fatalities. Numerous fatalities frequently result from sudden organ failure or physical imbalance because people are unable to receive the proper care in time. The ultimate purpose of a surveillance system is to automatically interpret events occurring in such settings. At present there is a requirement for having a system that will consequently detect the individuals and alarm the caretaker at such risk, We would like to present a wearable prototype that would enable a person to send an alert message when they are in danger and record their vital signs in case of an emergency. The alert message assists us in locating the person so that the rescue effort can start as soon as feasible.


Introduction
With the rapid development of technology comes an increased threat of danger. To combat this, various safety, security, detection, and tracking devices have been implemented for children, women, vehicles, homes, remote monitoring, and more [1]. Unfortunately, accidents still happen and the World Health Organization (WHO) reports that drowning is the third leading cause of unintentional injury worldwide, with road traffic incidents being the second leading cause and heart attacks being the first [2]. People love to play at the beach, water parks, go on picnics, and travel to remote locations, but in a split second, everything can change. Sudden breathing difficulties, loss of balance and body imbalances can lead to death. Cramps, collisions, certain diseases, and mental stress can also result in fatal outcomes [3]. It is crucial to have a system in place that can quickly detect and alert a caregiver in case of an emergency [4] [6]. Wearable devices that monitor health have the advantage of convenience, real-time monitoring, and, most importantly, the ability to save lives [5]. Accurately determining pedestrian location in indoor environments using consumer smartphones is a significant step in the development of ubiquitous localization services [7]. An increase in world population along with a significant aging portion is forcing rapid rises in healthcare costs [8]. This paper explores the challenges faced by automated surveillance systems in hostile conditions and presents a developed wearable system that detects life-threatening situations and alerts caretakers for a prompt rescue [9]. Join us as we delve into the importance of wearable technology for emergency situations and its role in saving lives [10].

"Secure Health and Position Monitoring for Army Personnel: A Blockchain-based System" Jitesh Pabla et al present a revolutionary system aimed at ensuring the real-time health and safety of army personnel [7]. The system comprises a sensor module that is mounted on a soldier's arm and transmits and stores critical health and location data in an encrypted form on a Blockchain. The sensor module is equipped with temperature, heart-rate, and GPS sensors, providing accurate readings with low relative errors. The use of Blockchain technology ensures that the stored data is tamper-proof and distributed, providing an additional layer of security to sensitive information. The system operates on army-controlled computers, ensuring that the data remains within the trusted network.

Existing System
The safety of women and children has become a critical issue in today's society, with an alarming rise in incidents of sexual assault and violence. To address this growing concern, a new device has been developed to provide a reliable layer of security for women and children. The device combines the power of a microcontroller, GSM, and GPS modules to instantly send notifications and the user's location to designated contacts in case of an emergency. They had these drawbacks: The system's efficiency is impaired by environmental factors such as weather and physical obstacles. Privacy concerns may arise from the collection and storage of personal health data. Maintaining and updating the technology can be costly and time-consuming. Calibration of the sensors may need to be performed regularly for accurate readings. The system may not be accessible or compatible with all individuals, particularly those with disabilities.

Proposed Methodology
The wearable device will also monitor the rescuer's body temperature to prevent hypothermia in the harsh weather conditions. The real-time monitoring and alert mechanism of this system ensure the safety of the rescuers in the field, especially in cold-weather environments where the risk of injury or death is high. The data collected from the sensors is securely stored and transmitted to the rescue team through the GSM module, making it accessible even in remote areas. This innovative solution aims to make rescue missions more efficient and safer for both rescuers and those in need of assistance.

It isolates the measuring or control equipment from high voltage while preserving accuracy of the measurement. It is commonly used in power systems for measuring voltage and detecting faults.

LCD -Liquid Crystal Display:
LCDs have both liquid and crystal properties. Two glass panels with transparent electrodes, polarizers, and liquid crystal material in between create an LCD display. When voltage is applied, liquid crystal molecules align to highlight desired characters, appearing visible against the transparent LCD. Arduino boards can be programmed using various programming languages with a compiler that generates machine code. To simplify the programming process, Atmel offers a development platform, Atmel Studio, for its microcontrollers. It's a modern and user-friendly environment for writing, testing and debugging Arduino code.
