As it comes from its name, the device is supposed to look like some shield attached to the patient's chest that can monitor his heart rate while sending these data to his physician and his mobile phone, so the patient and the doctor can always see his heart condition. At the same time, the device also tries to make the patient an active participant in protecting his heart by sending him a reminder to move more in case his heart rate has been steady for too long, which often refers to not enough physical activity, which is linked to the weak heart muscle that can put the patient at higher risk of experiencing CVDs.

The central part of the device is to detect incoming heart problems based on the patient heart rate ( e.g., heart attack, SCA, heart arrhythmia) and start either indirect heart massage or defibrillation based on the heart problem patient is experiencing. At the same time, it should be able to send the notification to the hospital along with the patient's location.

The project is currently in the state of idea. And we are looking for someone with technical and biomedicine background.

We are looking for an energetic, flexible maker/engineer/HW developer who can help us develop medical devices that make the world a better place. We’ve reached a stage where we have a close to the final version of the device’s firmware and a sophisticated prototype built on off-the-shelf parts and breakout boards paired together on a custom PCB. The next step in our journey is making a board that integrates an ESP32 chip paired with an HX711 amplifier. We’re going to need help with this stage, as we believe that developing our custom solution together with a professional from the ground up is a much better choice than perhaps making a mistake that will burn us in the future.

The second part of the development that still lies ahead is a custom mobile/web app that can effectively visualize data from InfluxDB/Prometheus gathered by our devices. Right now, we’re collecting data with Influx and visualizing it in Grafana, so the next step would be an essential react (or any other framework) app that would grant us more customization. As you can probably tell, though, we’re not the most prominent experts in web app development, so any relevant changes to this or any other workflow will be more than welcome.
