Thesis

• The Heart on the Line bracelets are two bracelets that communicate through a bluetooth connection and flashing lights when the heart rate of someone battling through a health condition is dangerously high.

• Designed for people who aren’t hospitalized with 24/7 care and attention but would still benefit from having a trusted friend check in on their health and well being.

• Ensure that the “patient” in this situation can always have a trusted friend/caregiver who gets notified when their heart rate is dangerously high

• A vital part about the concept is ensuring that the two people wearing them share a relationship where they trust each other, and are comfortable being vulnerable with each other.

Research

Which health conditions can this cater to?

1. drug use
2. extreme asthma
3. panic/anxiety attacks
4. high/low blood pressure
5. electrolyte unbalance
6. withdrawal
7. high fever
8. lack of blood circulation

1. Average heart rate for human is 60-100bpm
2. Heart rate increases unnaturally after overuse of drugs, extreme fear, etc
3. Starting at 120bpm, someone with an underlying health condition should go to the hospital, but often times it goes unnoticed 
4. Blacking out/fainting often dramatically decreases heart rate
5. Too high or too low of a heart rate can also be a warning sign for a lot of different problems, like organ failure, heart failure, other sickness, anxiety and panic attacks, etc.
