IN-202541033827-A - NEXT-GEN ADVANCED LIFE JACKET WITH LONG-RANGE TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

ABSTRACT NEXT -GEN ADVANCED LIFE JACKET WITH LONGRANGE TECHNOLOGY Mountain climbers frequently encounter harsh weather conditions, particularly in freezing temperatures, which can result in hypothermia-a critical condition that arises when the body loses heat more rapidly than it can generate it. When body temperature falls below 35?C, climbers may suffer from confusion, exhaustion, and ultimately unconsciousness. To avert this, we have developed a cutting- edge life jacket that continually tracks the climber's healih and offers essential interventions to sustain body temperature. This life jacket comes equipped with a temperature sensor, Peltier module, and pulse sensor for real-time health tracking. The temperature sensor monitors the climber's body temperature, and if it falls dangerously low, the Peltier module activates to deliver the necessary heating or cooling. A pulse sensor tracks the climber's heart rate consistently, ensuring that vital signs remain stable. To improve navigation and safety, the system incorporates a GPS module, assisting climbers in selecting the safest routes and monitoring their real- time location. The health and location data gathered are communicated to the rescue team or caregivers for prompt intervention. This guarantees that if a climber suffers from severe hypothermia or any other health complication, help can be dispatched swiftly.For robust and long-range communication, we? utilize the LoRa (Long Range) network, which ensures dependable connectivity even in remote mour.?~,,!nous regions. In the event of emergencies, the system can send alert notifications through an Android app, ensuring that climbers can obtain immediate assistance. The employment of LoRa technology guarantees low energy consumption, allowing the device to operate effectively for prolonged periods without the need for frequent battery changes. By providing ongoing health monitoring, real-time data transmission, and intelligent intervention, this system greatly improves the safety of climbers. It reduces the chances of hypothermia-related fatalities and aids mountaineers in making wellinformed decisions during their expeditions. This life jacket represents a significant advancement in adventure safety technology, making mountain climbing more secure and safer.

Description

Complete SpecificationFILED OF INNOVATIONThis product combines multiple innovations to improve climbers' safety. It uses wearabletechnology with sensors to monitor health in real time. loT in healthcare helps track bodytemperature, heart rate, and location remotely. Smart textiles with a Peliier module adjust bodytemperature in extreme conditions. LoRa communication ensures reliable long-range connectivityfor quick rescue in emergencies.HISTORY OF THE INVENTIONSafety wearables have come a long way over the years. Early life jackets were made ofcork, later replaced with inflatable designs for better protection. Portable medical devices made iteasier to monitor vital signs, improving health tracking. GPS technology helped people navigateand made rescues faster in remote areas. With the rise of loT, real-time health tracking andcommunication became possible. Smart textiles introduced clothing that could adjust temperaturebased on the environment. Wireless communication made it easier to send emergency alerts andtrack locations. LoRa technology allowed long-range data transmission, even in areas withoutcellular networks. AI-powered wearables now help predict health risks and improve emergencyresponses. These innovations continue to make outdoor adventures and rescue operations safer.
