Abstract: With the rising impact of extreme heat due to climate change, individuals exposed to high temperatures for prolonged periods such as outdoor workers, athletes, travelers, and the elderly are at significant risk of sunstroke and other heat-related illnesses. Sunstroke can cause severe dehydration, organ failure, and even death if not detected early. To address this, we propose the system called “RAY SHIELD-COMPREHENSIVE SUNSTROKE DETECTION IN HEAT EXPOSURE”. It is an advanced wearable device designed to monitor environmental and physiological parameters in real-time to prevent sunstroke. The system integrates multiple sensors to track UV exposure levels (240-370 nm), body temperature, and humidity. These data points are processed using an onboard microcontroller to assess the risk of heat-related illnesses. Upon detecting unsafe thresholds, the device activates an alert mechanism, which includes a buzzer alarm system, SMS alerts, and call notifications to designated emergency contacts. The SMS alerts contain critical information about the user’s condition, ensuring timely intervention. The primary goal of this project is to develop a functional and reliable prototype for individuals exposed to extreme heat, such as outdoor workers, athletes, and military personnel. This innovation enhances safety by preventing dehydration and sunstroke through proactive monitoring and alerting mechanisms.
