Hi - not sure if this is the right place to ask this question but I’m hoping if it isn’t then one of you clever people could direct me?
So - I want to make a specific- potentially life saving app - for the new Apple Watch but I have zero experience and no coding talent. (Please don’t go yet!)
What I want to do is create an app that can use Apple Watch pulse and SpO2 sensors and loudly alert on a linked device - for eg if wearer’s pulse goes higher or lower than a set parameter or SATS drop below a certain point then an alert would sound on the device it is linked to (iPhone/iPad) etc.
The reason for this is because right now in the UK, epilepsy alarms are ridiculously expensive and the one I use for my daughter (Pulseguard - I’m in the UK) keeps malfunctioning. There are many epilepsy alarms but all are expensive and mostly work on pulse (HR). My daughter would also benefit from SATS monitoring at night (SpO2) which is another indication of seizure activity and she also has a form of sleep apnoea.
I could see this working potentially as a baby monitor (SIDS) alerting parents (Loudly vis phone) if their kids heart rates drop too low/too high or their saturations drop.
I hope this makes sense! I was watching the Apple event And the SATS monitoring could be life changing for parents of children with disabilities/ breathing difficulties/ infants etc.
Thanks for reading!
