Development of combined GPS-accelerometer-based monitoring and alerting system for the second generation iGO bracelet

IGO国际公司是一家总部位于滑铁卢的公司，设计和开发iGOSafe移动安全解决方案，目前该解决方案将GPS技术与基于网络的事件管理软件平台相结合。IGOSafe由用户佩戴，就像手镯一样，用于安全和安保应用，针对不同的细分市场，如老年人、儿童和精神病患者。当前的第一代版本的设备能够根据用户位置定义的规则发送警报消息，每隔一分钟发送一次。为了增强设备的性能，有必要增加GPS数据的频率，并添加其他基于身体的传感器，如加速度计、心率或皮肤温度。这将特别允许对可能触发安全和安保警报的用户活动、事件和情况进行更详细的统计。多尔蒂博士拥有丰富的研发经验

iGO international is a Waterloo-based company which designs and develops the iGOSafe Mobile Security Solution, which currently combines GPS technology with a web-based incident management software platform. The iGOSafe is worn by the users, like a bracelet, for safety and security application and is targeted to different market segments such as seniors, kids and people with mental disease. The current first generation version of the device is able to send alert messages based on the rules that are defined by the user's location, taken at one minute intervals. In order to enhance the capabilities of the device, it is necessary to increase the frequent of GPS data, and also add in other body-based sensors such as accelerometry, heart-rate, or skin temperature. This would allow in particular, a much detailed accounting of user activity, events and circumstances that could trigger safety and security alerts. Dr. Doherty has considerable experience developing
