Electrical Electronics Engineering Projects,Thesis, dissertations and engineering Ebooks: Project On Intelligent Wireless Pedometer

We have built an intelligent, wearable pedometer. This wireless pedometer can calculate many useful statistics such as the number of steps a user has taken, the distance and the speed the person has walked/run, as well as the number of calories the person has burned. This information is wireless transmitted to the base-station, and it is displayed on the PC in a useful manner. This project is in collaboration with the Paramedics Project with John Belina.Traditionally, pedometers only measure the number of steps a user has taken. Recently, more advanced pedometers include GPS units to calculate the distance a person has traveled, but using GPS substantially increase the cost of the product. Our project uses a low-cost accelerometer to determine the distance, speed, number of steps taken, and calories burned of a user instead.
