Week 4

Requirements List Elaboration

Our team began working on the requirement list for our prototype. This step is crucial for defining the specifications and necessary components to ensure the successful development of our project.

Thanks to discussions during the various reunions with our advisors, we managed to outline how the device would work, particularly how the communication will function and what hardaware we will need to acomplish our project. We divided our prototype in 3 main sectors, that will have their own functions, so that we can have an initial outlining of our solution development.

Requirements List:

- Personal Module Sector
A microcontroller receives data from a sports armband (heart rate via BLE) and a motion
sensor (gyroscope/accelerometer for posture and movement).
Ideally, the microcontroller includes GPS, BLE, and LoRa, with a compact planar antenna
for LoRa communication.

- Data Receiver Sector
Receives data from the personal module via LoRa and sends it to the central app, ideally
through satellite communication.

- Web Application Sector
Stores and analyses incoming data, monitoring vital signs and posture to detect health
risks. If danger is detected, the system triggers an alert to assist the user.
