Mountaineer’s Health and GPS Tracking System

Krutika Bhagane, Nikhil Bhosale, Abhishek Gambre, Shrutika Khobragade

Abstract


Mountaineering is always a fun and adventurous activity. But mountaineering comes with a lot of risks. Mountain climbers have heavy chances of mishaps. Search and rescue efforts frequently fail when a similar tragedy takes place in a rural area or at a high elevation. As a result, the search and rescue team is ignorant of the accident's location or whether or not the individual is alive and, if so, what condition he is in. The real-time monitoring of mountaineers' vital signs and the IoT tracking of their whereabouts are both made possible by this project. This entails live heartbeat monitoring, GPS location tracking, an altimeter, fall detection, and a barometer sensor to assess a mountaineer's health. This information is transmitted via the IoT for live monitoring in the form of SMS to the mountaineer's device using their configured or saved contact number.
