This research paper explores how we designed and built the "SHIELDX" project. Safety and health of women are big challenges in the present society, day by day frequency of such risk issues like harassment, assaults, accidents and sudden medical emergencies are increasing. A number of (wearable) mobile applications and devices have been developed, yet they typically focus on either safety or health monitoring in separation from the other, which crucially delays first response and impedes the overall effectiveness when help is needed in real-world everyday scenarios. This research paper describes SHIELDX, an integrated Internet of Things (IoT)-based Women Safety and Health Monitoring System designed as a smart wearable solution. The device allows users to monitor their health in real time, and combines health monitoring with automated emergency detection and instant alert functionality, all in a single device. SHIELDX fuses health monitoring with communication and location tracking (using GSM and GPS) to facilitate emergency detection and alerts. Health monitoring sensors include a pulse rate sensor, a body temperature sensor, and a motion sensor (MPU-6050). Users can initiate emergency alerts via a manual panic button, voice command, and even certain health anomalies, or when a user experiences a sudden fall (detected via the motion sensor). The device captures an emergency, then sends an SOS to one or more of the users emergency contacts, along with a real time location of the user and important health information, which is stored on a monitoring cloud platform. A setup like this runs cheap, uses little power, works without needing a phone - keeps going when things get tough. Tests show SHIELDX cuts down how long it takes to respond during emergencies while keeping users safer. Starting from one single base, combining health checks with personal security gives women more control. Prevention gets easier. Society moves closer to being both safer and healthier.
