Solar powered smart wearable health monitoring and tracking device based on GPS and GSM technology for children with autism

In this paper, a smart wearable health monitoring technology is presented with the GPS tracking ability for the children with autism. The main problem faced by the parents of an autistic child is to regular monitor the health condition of their children. An autistic child may have several health issues and requires constant monitoring of heart rate, pulse and body temperature but it is quite tough for parents and caretaker to measure health parameters regulary. Another acute problem is to keep tracking of the location of an autistic child whenever he or she is outside of the home without parents or caretakers. Conventional tracking devices have the limitation of small battery life. To overcome these problems, a wearable device is proposed which will be able to measure the temperature and pulse of the child and send notification with detailed information to the parents. The device will be able to detect the coordinates of it's user. Parents will have the ability to set parameters for a specific region of area. The device will send the coordinates of the child with regular notification and emergency alerts will be immediately notified whenever the pulse rate or temperature varies more or less than the standard value and whenever the child will be detected out of predefined coordinates. A wearable solar charging unit is proposed to overcome the limitation of small battery life so that the device will be always charged up whenever the child is traveling or outside of home.
