Abstract

The increasing frequency and intensity of heat waves due to climate change underscore the critical need for proactive measures to prevent heat stroke, a life-threatening condition affecting individuals of all demographics, with vulnerability among the elderly and outdoor workers. In response to this pressing public health challenge, we present the internet of things (IoT) based heat stroke prevention device, a comprehensive solution leveraging a suite of sensors including temperature, atmospheric, pulse rate, blood pressure, and gyroscope sensors, seamlessly integrated with an ESP32 microcontroller and Firebase's real-time database. Central to the device's functionality is a random forest classifier machine learning model, trained on historical data and user-specific parameters, to accurately predict the likelihood of heat stroke onset in real-time. Rigorous testing and validation procedures demonstrate the device's high accuracy and reliability in sensor measurements, data transmission, and model performance. The accompanying web-based dashboard provides users with intuitive access to their current health metrics, including temperature, humidity, blood pressure, pulse rate, and personalized predictions for heat stroke risk. This innovative device serves as a versatile tool for public health agencies, occupational safety programs, and individuals seeking to safeguard their well-being in the face of escalating temperatures and climate uncertainties.
