Summary
Farmers are often doing remote work by themselves for large periods of time and have no truly reliable method of alerting others when incapacitated by injury. This project involved the development and testing of a prototype emergency detection and alerting smart shoe insole, the Save Our Souls device, on farmers in Australia. The results were positive. Refinement is continuing.
