Abstract :
This project was made to develop a multisensory tool with a biometric approach, so the individual can evaluate some of his own characteristics, and actual or future conditions in him. For its development some sensors are involved: ultrasonic, temperature, resistant, infrared, etc. Between the possible variables evaluated we have the body temperature, the height, the sensibility, the patient strength, and some more internal factors like heart rate, oxygen saturation and average pressure. It also pretends to relate some sensors, so with them other type of conditions can be determined, like carpal tunnel syndrome, a condition involving not only sensibility but also strength, affecting and reducing them on the same way. The implementation of this tool wants to involve the individual with his own health, with the possible conditions he could have; it wants to direct and apply some sensors that sometimes are considered inapplicable and unnecessary because we don´t know their potential or possible functionality.
