| TITLE | GPS-Based Health and Safety Monitoring Device for Trekkers |
|---|---|
| ABSTRACT | Trekking in remote and mountainous regions involves various safety challenges, including health emergencies, loss of location information, and delayed rescue operations. This paper presents an IoT-Based GPS Health and Emergency Monitoring Device for Trekkers that integrates real-time health monitoring and location tracking into a compact wearable system. The proposed device utilizes an ESP32 microcontroller, a MAX30102 sensor for measuring heart rate and blood oxygen saturation (SpO₂), and a NEO-6M GPS module for obtaining location coordinates and altitude information. An OLED display provides local visualization of health and location data, while dedicated SOS buttons enable emergency alert generation. Audible and vibration alerts are produced using a buzzer and vibration motor to improve user awareness. The collected data can be monitored through a mobile application for continuous supervision. The developed prototype offers a portable, rechargeable, and cost-effective solution for enhancing trekker safety in remote environments. Experimental testing demonstrates reliable monitoring of physiological parameters and GPS-based tracking, making the system suitable for outdoor adventure and emergency support applications. |
