- one aspect the present invention is directed to a personal safety response system (100) and a method for detecting heart rate of an individual and finding a plurality of physiological parameters based on the heart rate data readings.
- the safety response system (100) includes a sensory means (101 ) which continuously detects a plurality of heart rate data.
- the sensory means (101 ) is ensconced in the inner wear of an individual.
- the housing means (101 A, 101 H) which includes a physical size & shape including the material of the housing means (101 A, 101 H) is such that it facilitates a proper coupling to the user.
- the housing means (101 A. 101 H) may preferably be made of soft silica and the like which can be comfortably carried in all the weather conditions. It may preferably be water resistant so as to protect the inner electronic components.
- Housing means top (101A) and housing means bottom (101 H) are joint at housing joint (600) to define the housing means (101 A, 101 H).
- the sensory means (101 ) is placed on the bridge of the bra and the triangular form of the sensory means (101 ) makes it fit well in between the bust area.
- the placement is ideal as the wearer does not feel discomfort wearing it for long intervals.
- the bottom strap of the bra keeps the sensor tightly fastened to the skin minimizing the data loss. The strap also doesn't let the sensor move from its place which again could result in the data loss.
- the holding means (101 1) for clamping may be a transparent plastic so as to take the color of the innerwear and keep the setup in its exact place.
- the holding means (101 1) is attached to the sensor with a spring action to keep it hanging with the innerwear.
- the sensory means interface (101 D) remains in contact with the skin of the body.
- the sensory means (101 ) is substantially a photoplethysmogram (PPG) sensor integrated to a microcontroller (101 F) for determining the heart rate data.
- the sensory means (101 ) is integrated to a data acquisition unit which forms part of the microcontroller (101 F) to record the heart rate data.
- the change in volume caused by the pressure pulse is detected by illuminating the skin with the light from the LED and then measuring the amount of light either transmitted or reflected to a photodiode.
- the sensory means (101 ) is a noninvasive transducer that measures relative changes in blood volume or the oxygen saturation under the skin in the chest area.
- the blood volume pulse (BVP) sensor reads the relative changes in blood volume.
- BVP blood volume pulse
- the photodiode output level is affected by variation in the level of light absorption.
- the LED Emitter and the Photo detector are placed side by side to reduce the space and size of the measuring site, making it place over the skin and not in-between 2 LEDS.
- the device acquires the PPG data, processes it and then sends it to a processing means/telementary manager, say a phone (Smart Phone) which has a decoding application installed in it.
- a processing means/telementary manager say a phone (Smart Phone) which has a decoding application installed in it.
- the transmission means is substantially a BluetoothTM or the likes.
- the transmission means is further coupled to a processing means which in turn is integrated within the computing means (102).
- the transmission means (102A) makes use of a BluetoothTM transmitter (101 E) on the sensory means (101 ) and a BluetoothTM receiver on the computing means (102). Data transmission is established after pairing between the transmitter and receiver.
- the transmission means may comprise a wireless mode like BluetoothTM (BLE) at a very non harmful frequency of 2.4 Ghz of Radio frequency thus giving a real time heart rate of the user.
- the computing means (102) is substantially a smart phone or the like computing device.
- the processing means is integrated within the computing means (102) and is having a software program, a mobile application or the like installed therein to process the heart rate readings.
- the software/application program can be activated only after the user validation by entering the username and password. If the validation is correct, only then the whole sequence of the application is processed.
- the web call object sends the encrypted data to the data server (103) for authentication, the response is received in the callback, and in case of affirmative response, user details are stored in the application memory and the user is taken to the main screen. Appropriate error messages are given in case otherwise.
- the sign up process is almost similar to the login process instead the values concerned here are full name, username, password and email.
- the processing means is preprogrammed for sampling the plurality of heart rate data readings.
- the processing means is configured to sample last five readings.
- the processing means further compares the next sampled heart rate readings to the preceding heart rate reading and detects a jump in the heart rate compared to preceding heart rate readings if any.
- the processing means is calibrated to detect a jump of around 20 percent preferably for detection of fearful situation.
- the processing means includes a database of heart rates pertaining to different physiological conditions including but not limited to fearful situation wherein heart rate range of around 1 10 to 150 has been defined. More precisely, a range of heart rate between 115 to 140 along with a jump of 20 percent in heart rate would be calibrated preferably to detect the fearful situation.
