Final Prototype - FEATURES

-Watch

* Tells the time, user can change the time by twisting the button.
* Monitors heart rate.
* Tracks users movement and location.
* Automatically sends emergency signal if strange occurrences happen
(e.g. the user has stopped moving, and the pulse has dropped).
* User can activate emergency alarm by pushing in and holding the
button for a certain amount of time. This puts them directly
through to the emergency services, and they can talk to them
through the watch.
* Also activates/deactivates their home security if they have it
installed. This is done by pressing the button once.


-Input Device

* User can input general health information, which is stored in the
device.
* Examples: weight, lung capacity, blood pressure, diet log,
exercise log, etc.
* User can view information they have entered, and edit if necessary.
* The device lets you send information to your GP.
* GP can send messages to device (e.g. providing advice, arranging
appointment times, etc).
* Ability to customise some options (e.g. date format, colours,
metric vs imperial values, etc).
* Stores a list of common foods with their nutritional values. If
the user is creating a diet log, they can use these instead of
typing in calorie values manually.
* Navigate using touch screen “soft buttons”.
* Ability to hand-write instructions (text recognition) or speak
instructions (speech recognition). Speaking instructions can act
as a short cut method to perform tasks. Assumes text and speech
recognition in the future are accurate enough for this purpose.

* Ability to change store and change contact details for user and
doctor.

system, which can be used as an alternative to the watch method
for activating the security alarm.


-Black Box

* If for some reason the user cannot send data using GPRS, they can
send it via the black box using their home phone line. This is
performed automatically, and only works if the user is within
Bluetooth range of the black box.
* The box stores the user’s details, the doctor’s details and
security passwords, as well as a back up of information stored on
the input device. In the case of a serious emergency, the details
can be extracted from the box by emergency services if they are
unavailable any other way.
* The box acts as a central hub for the optional PIR sensors, and
sends a silent alarm to emergency services if the security is
violated (as well as sounding a regular alarm).
* The user requires no direct interaction with the box.
* Optional extra, can be installed if the user wants better home
security.
