  1. V i t a l i s Ethical and Environmental Impact Wireless Biometric Sensor • ECE 477 - Spring 2013 • TEAM 13 • Presenter: Shantanu Joshi Team Members: AakashLamba Di Mo Shantanu Joshi Yi Shen

  2. Project Abstract Prototype of a portable wireless biometric sensor Battery-powered device with fuel gauge Mounted on the wrist Monitor pulse rate, SpO2 and skin temperature Transmit the information via Wi-Fi for remote web access NFC chip allows immediate access Accelerometer on the shoulder for fall detection Manual and automatic alarm system.

  4. Environmental Impact • PCB Fabrication • Exposure to hazardous chemicals during manufacture • Small PCB minimizes impact • EU addressing the situation through RoHS and WEEE • LiPo • More durable than Ni-Cd batteries but can still explode when overcharged • Difficult to recycle • Power Consumption • Very low powered device • Limit the use of Wi-Fi • Use of servers for web hosting

  5. Ethical Issues • Calibration • Ensure sensors report correct readings and conform to all existing standards • Extensive testing phase • Safety • Built in system redundancies to mitigate the failure of high risk components • Ensure that our device does not affect patients with medical devices like a pacemaker. • Privacy • Handle sensitive medical data • Provide proper safeguards to prevent misuse
