DS1 - Design Problem & Design Brief Problem Heat exhaustion: common and dangerous for people performing in high temperature, high humidity environments. Advances quickly and signs can be subtle Over motivated, “team player” mentality: lessens an individual’s concern for his/her physical condition and welfare Completely preventable, yet incidences/deaths still occur Brief ThermaTracker core body temperature and heart rate monitor Wireless, non-invasive physiological device worn during activity Tracks the conditions of multiple people at risk. Alerts a team trainer or leader

DS5 – Chosen Idea Data Receiver Forehead Pad with Infrared LEDs and Photosensor Earpiece w/ Thermopile Arduino Microcontroller Board w/ Bluetooth Temperature Sensor

Executive Summary Problem Heat stroke is a preventable cause of injury or death that may occur in hot, humid environments when thermoregulatory mechanisms fail. Design Brief ThermaTracker will: Measure core body temperature AND heart rate Wirelessly transmit data from multiple users to a monitoring station Alert trainers/users when at onset of heat illness Target Market Protective helmet users: Football players: 1.5million is USA Soldiers: 1.1 million in USA and territories Firefighters: 1.1million in USA Development: Prototype May 2009 FDA approval mid nd generation products 2012 $$$ Break even 2013 $30 manufacturing cost $50 sale price

Company Overview PPG sensor at forehead measures heart rate and In-ear thermopile measures core body temperature Reflectance mode PPG In-ear thermopile Bluetooth Wireless Transmitter Wireless Reciever & Monitoring Station ThermaTracker Technology ALARM!!! Bluetooth wireless transmitter sends physiological data to a monitoring station. If temperature and heart rate rise to unsafe levels, indicative of heat illness…

Company Overview Components of reflectance PPG and in-ear thermometers are widely used and available. A wealth of information exists on how to construct PPG and thermopile devices and circuitry. We therefore plan to develop a working prototype by May Infrared LEDs Thermopiles Photodetectors

Company Overview Other companies (Nike, Garmin, Reebok, Timex, Polar, Ironman) sell heart rate monitors to athletes…. The Heat Elite Advantage The ThermaTracker will have the added features of: Temperature AND heart rate monitoring for user safety Wireless data telemetry Rugged, tough design to handle bumps, falls, tackles Adaptable for several types of helmets No currently available products for monitoring heat exhaustion
