This is a proof of concept project made for a biomedical engineering capstone group. The objective was to build a wearable device that fits in a sock that monitors heart rate, basic location awareness and alerts on fall detection. The target audience for this device would be alzheimer's patients, and more broadly, geriatrics.
The web app receives and displays updates from the server via WebSockets. It graphs heart rate and alerts when any monitor (fall, heart rate, location) enters a 'warning' state.
Libraries used: React.js, D3.js (via recharts). Bootstrapped with create-react-app.
The server establishes a connection over a serial port to the arduino and listens for data. It sends the data it receives over a WebSocket to the web app.
Libraries used: serialport, ws.
