M.E.D.I.C. MEDICAL EVALUATION DURING IMMEDIATE CRISIS Michelle Damico Eastern Kentucky University Network Security and Electronics Capstone

OUTLINE Motivation: To better aid those who serve Problem Statement: Solution must be: inexpensive, light in weight, easily accessible, and expandable Assumptions Wifi/Web Access is needed GPS Locator Proposed Solution Drupal + Arduino Results/ Conclusion Expandable platform will exceed expectations More modifications needed 2

3 MOTIVATION The purpose of M.E.D.I.C is to allow dispatchers to monitor their personnel’s health status remotely and in real-time. Designed specifically for: law-enforcement, military, and fire fighters— individuals who work in high-risk occupations. Assist dispatchers or triage administrators to faster and more effectively allocate resources, saving and even greater number of lives.

4 INTRODUCTION M.E.D.I.C Combine hardware and software Multiple levels Scalable and expandable

5 PROBLEM STATEMENT How does one keep track of the status of operators once a dynamic situation arises in a compact? That is also: Compact form-factor Cost constraint of $100 (minus donated/re- purposed smartphone) Follows a weight restriction of less than one loaded STANAG magazine

ASSUMPTIONS Must be cheap, durable, and accessible Loss must not compromise OpSec Operating Constraints: Must have smartphone GPS Receiver in phone Cellular Network or Satellite Network for Internet connection USB OTG Connector Development Assumptions: Donated Smartphone Form factor must either fit within helmet or small package at waist For maximum chance of adoption, use only off-the- shelf components. 6

7 PROPOSED SOLUTION List steps taken to solve the problem – flowcharts and visuals MilestoneDescriptionDeadline Research PhaseInvestigate capabilities of Raspberry Pi, Arduino, PhoneGap, Pulse Sensing methods and DIY approaches, and become familiar with the C Programming language. Early January Arduino Blink TestAlter the basic “Blink” Arduino Sketch to ensure 1) Arduino is viable hardware and 2) developer capability to use C. Mid January HB Hardware TestFlash the stock Sketch to the Arduino and wire-up the “Blink” LEDs for the Open Hardware/Open Software Sensor to ensure this sensor is sufficient for the project. Early February Hosting & Drupal SetupObtain hosting for, install, and configure basic Drupal to ensure stable function and developer capability to use CMS. Mid to Late February Advanced DrupalInstall additional contributed modules based on desired functionality, create custom Content Type, create custom data View. This dictates the Database Schema that will receive data from M.E.D.I.C. Test with manually entered dummy data. March through April Advanced ArduinoUsing the Keyboard Library, modify the Open Source for the Heartbeat Sensor to enter the BPM and location data into the Drupal Content Creation form (via the Smartphone, via USB). Test by capturing output in Notepad on a PC. April System Integration TestMake final Arduino Sketch updates and attempt to post data directly to Drupal via the Smartphone. Note any unexpected behaviors or unanticipated complications. Mid April through May

8 RESULTS Operator Logs-in to website via smartphone Operator connects to HeartRate sensor. Then plugs in Arduino device. Heart Rate sensor reads pulse, then reports to the Arduino. Arduino acts as a keyboard and enters measured data into web-form Website processes request and logs entry to Drupal webpage

10 CONCLUSIONS Proof of concept successful; these technologies can be integrated to provide greater value than the sum of the System already being extended; open-source/open- hardware allows broad contributions to project. Total cost under goal of $100: 1 perf-board: $0.88Grand Total: 1 Arduino Pro Micro: $4.00 $ RJ-45 Ports: $ M/F RC cable: $ ft. insulated wire: $ USB OTG Y-cable: $ oz. Instamorph: $ OH HB sensor: $28.00

IN MEMORY OF… Officer Todd Bailey, friend of Tera San, who died in the line of duty in pursuit of a suspect. “Todd was a great man and a good friend. There was nothing he wouldn’t do for you. He had a beautiful, loving wife and they were well off enough to retire young, but he still chose to join Law Enforcement to serve his community. We lost one of humanity’s best that day.” --Tera San 14
