ABSTRACT
The Walking Stick with Heart Attack Detection is equipment that is used daily to indicate heart condition, to detect heart attack and to call for emergency help. It was designed specially to help senior citizens and patients with heart disease. This project is based on the previous project “Wireless Heart Attack Detector with GPS” of Fall 2004 [1].
