Key Features

1. Wearable Device:

   • Monitors vital signs (e.g., heart rate, temperature).
   • Equipped with GPS tracking for real-time location updates.

2. RC Rescue Car:

   • Deployed in emergencies to provide assistance or transport supplies.
   • Integrated GPS and LoRa communication for navigation and status updates.

3. Long-Distance Connectivity:

   • Utilizes LoRa communication technology for stable, long-range data transmission.

4. Emergency Response:

   • Sends alerts in case of abnormalities in vital signs.
   • Allows for real-time tracking and medical evacuation if needed.

Hardware Components

1. Wearable Device:

   • ESP32
   • Heart Rate Sensor (e.g., MAX30102)
   • Temperature Sensor (e.g., DHT11 or DS18B20)
   • GPS Module (e.g., NEO-6M)
   • LoRa Module

2. RC Rescue Car:

   • ESP32
   • Motor Driver (e.g., L298N)
   • GPS Module
   • LoRa Module
   • Compass Sensor

---

Software Components

1. Node-RED

   • Handles data visualization and processing.
   • Provides a user-friendly dashboard for monitoring and control.

2. Embedded Programming:

   • Code written in Arduino IDE for ESP32 microcontrollers.

3. Communication Protocol:

   • LoRa for long-distance communication between the wearable device and RC car.

4. Backend:

   • MQTT broker for real-time data transmission.

---

How It Works

1. Monitoring:

   • The wearable device tracks health metrics and location in real-time.

2. Alert Trigger:

   • If abnormal metrics are detected, the system sends an alert to the control dashboard.

3. Rescue Deployment:

   • The RC car is deployed and navigates using GPS and compass data to reach the individual in need.

4. Continuous Updates:

   • Data is relayed back to the dashboard for tracking and coordination.
