Welcome to our project "SAFEGUARD” We are the team OBSERVER participating NASA Space Apps Challenge 2019. We were selected as top 40 in NASA Space app challenge in 2018.

We are the student of textile engineering. We do research on flexible, light weight material and achieve some national & international achievement for our authentic project.

Everyone try to use a hardware or other device that is heavier or not easy to carry.But no one think about our clothing

On this point we are special we try to install the sensor in our cloth and try to make it flexible for better user experience

In the challenge “From Curious Minds Come Helping Hands” is said your challenge is to design and build an innovative platform to integrate satellite data and information about vulnerable populations and environmental hazards in order to identify the most at-risk populations. Be creative and think outside the box. How will you identify those people that are often missed, but need aid the most?

We have developed an idea regarding this challenge. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that approximately 25% of human death and disease globally is linked to environmental hazards, and this increases to 35% in particularly vulnerable regions like sub-Saharan Africa. Vulnerability is driven by environmental, social, economic and physical factors. For example, children and the elderly and those considered socioeconomically disadvantaged can be at greater risk of harm from environmental hazards. These hazards are wide ranging and can include single hazards such as cyclones and earthquakes, or more complex and cascading hazards, such as famine linked to drought, crop failure and population imbalances, or landslides and flash floods impacting development in insecure locations. Our idea will help people to be safe in dangerous environment. As it collect real time data and send it to NASA website to cross check satellite data for more accuracy and can notify its user when NASA predict a hazard and can identify the most at-risk populations and can locate those people that are often missed.

So, YES! Our project has the solution for this challenge.

Let’s talk about our solution that works for this challenge. There is many different types of hard tools for collecting real time data into the ocean. But come with a unique idea of installing sensor based small electronic device in to the cloth and make it flexible for better performance of use. The device will be underneath of the fabric that cannot be seen from outside.

A wearable technology which can minimize the devastating effect of dangerous environmental issues in human life. This device can work as a safeguard for them also potential for similar type of natural disasters .It predicts the upcoming danger such as cyclone, early wild fire detection etc.

It will monitor our daily activity and will send a text messages with the help of radio signal to a receiver if the situation goes beyond control .The text message will provide geo-location with picture or video.

It can notify the nearby quick response team whenever the network is available that are at a risk before anything goes out of control .There is a GPS and GSM module which will extract the location of victim area. A set of sensor will give necessary data such as humidity, temperature etc.

Then it will send data to cloud server and match it with NASA’s data where NASA demand that their researchers have been striving to reduce the time it takes to detect disaster using satellite information from 3-4 hours to ten minutes or less.

5 benefits of our projects:

• Keeping safe the human life in case of natural disasters.
• Having forecast about the early wild fire before it happens
• Sending signal or messages to their family and rescue units.
• Sending exact geo-location in the time of danger.
• Can cross check the environmental data’s from NASA’s website.

Future plan of our projects:

• Adding a camera module with this device
• Minimizing the size andcost for this device
• Developing a flexible sensor
• Developing an unique cloud server for this
• Developing this device for faster data sending system than before.
