SDG 3 Good Health and Well-Being

Our project

We used the Microbit and a set of sensors to provide information including the health of the elderly, medication times, their location, and alerts for any accident that may happen to them through a bracelet or a small device carried permanently by the elderly person, which is linked to the mobile phone of the person responsible for them, as this device helps to provide permanent data about the elderly.

Our inspiration

Many elderly people are exposed to health incidents such as fever, high blood pressure, sudden falls, or getting lost due to diseases such as Alzheimer's, which exposes them to many dangers, especially when there is no companion with them. To help the elderly and protect them when there is no one to help them, we have worked to provide permanent information about their health and needs to the person responsible for them with the help of the micro:bit.
