Machine Learning
On Alert has the capabilities is a bracelet that monitors physicians vitals. Utilizing machine learning, On Alert establishes a baseline heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen levels.
The user wears the device 24/7 for a week while doing daily activities to establish a baseline of vitals. The user calibrates it by selecting one of 4 options: 'awake' , 'getting tired' , 'going to sleep', and 'disregard' for any inaccurate or abnormal instances.
After a week of setting the baseline, when the vitals indicate levels of fatigue, the On Alert delivers a haptic response to keep doctors awake. The more the device is worn the more accurate the reads get.
UI/UX INTERFACE
Venues that a Paired with an app interface, the user is able to customize their haptics with 5 different options:
rhythmic vibration, compression, flash, sound, or a combination. The options for haptics are varied but all
must be distinguishable from a hospital environment.
