SMS 'Smart Bracelet' for Medical Emergencies

Dr. Ali Okatan of Bahcesehir University, Turkey, hopes to save lives with his new invention called the 'smart bracelet'. People who are unable to leave their homes, especially the sick and the aged, can communicate with their relatives using the bracelet, according to Zaman.

"This device, which I call the smart bracelet, follows elderly people who live alone or ill people's health conditions by merging GSM technology with electronics. It looks like a normal watch but it communicates body temperature, blood pressure and pulse rate to a central location periodically. If an ill or elderly person is in difficulty, he/she can call a pre-assigned nurse or relative by pushing a button on the bracelet. The message is delivered both as SMS and voice message to cell phones and land-lines. Also, the user's doctor can constantly follow the patient's condition, if necessary," said Okatan".
