Development of an Intelligent Mobile Personal Emergency Response Systems and Vital sign monitoring – Phase 2

Epic Safety is the research and development arm of Aban Security Systems Ltd., specializing in Personal Emergency Response Systems (PERS) and Tele-Health. To continue its innovations, the company is planning to grow its technical and manufacturing presence in Canada. As this is a highly specialized technical field, Epic has faced challenges in hiring the highly qualified personnel to further advance its technology, and hence, is working with Dr. Golnaraghi. The envisioned Mobile PERS includes a combination of sensors to record a user’s movement/activities and vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate etc.). A processor will be in communication with various sensors to intelligently monitor a user’s motion to determine if a notable event (such as a fall or a health problem) has occurred. In this proposal, the SFU team will look at design of the sensory system and testing the proof of concept to ensure its reliability of measurements.
