The TherMonitor is a device I created to prevent vehicular heatstroke for children in the summer. Each summer around 40 kids die from vehicular heatstroke when they were left in the car during summer. The TherMonitor is a low cost and low power consuming device that would detect humans in the car and prevent vehicular heatstroke when overheating by lowering the windows or alerting the parents.

The main challenge of the project was how to accurately detect humans in a cost and energy efficient way. After many trials and failures, the final result was a 64 point thermo-array sensor combined with a unique Algorithm obtained through data regression. With this algorithm, the TherMonitor can accurately detect humans in the back seat of the car through only 64 temperature points.
