The project aims to develop an affordable and programmable smartwatch with robust health-tracking capabilities, real-time information display, and extensive customization options. The key components include:
- Indus Board: The core component providing a compact form factor and essential onboard sensors and GPIOs for versatility.
- GC9A0 Display: Offering a high-resolution and vibrant interface for users to interact with health data, notifications, and other information.
- MAX30100 SpO2 Sensor: Measuring blood oxygen saturation levels (SpO2) and heart rate for real-time health monitoring.
- Heart Rate Sensor: Enhancing health tracking with continuous heart rate monitoring during various activities and at rest.
- Temperature Sensor: Adding an additional dimension to health monitoring by tracking users’ body temperature.
- WiFi Chip: Integrated with the Indus board, enabling connectivity, data synchronization, mesh networking for collective health monitoring, and over-the-air programming.
Functionality
- Health Tracking: Monitors vital signs like heart rate, blood oxygen levels, and body temperature, providing users with insights into their overall health.
- Real-time Information: Displays time, date, weather updates, notifications, and activity tracking through the intuitive GC9A0 screen.
- Customization: Users can customize the smartwatch’s UI, functions, and features based on their preferences. They can also develop and install custom apps to extend functionality.
- Mesh Networking: The WiFi chip enables the creation of a mesh network, allowing multiple smartwatches to communicate and share health data. This collective data can be analyzed to identify trends, patterns, and potential health risks within a community or group.
