Abstract

             This project aims to develop an “An Alerting Device to Prevent Death Risk in Dental Treatment” to reduce the risk of death during dental treatment .

             Our alerting device is a device that can analyze the stress. Stress can cause to be shocked by increasing each heart rate and GSR value. GSR value shows sweat secretion plays a major role for thermoregulation and sensory discrimination. It can change skin conductance in hand and foot ; the higher the arousal, the higher the skin conductance. It can mean being in stress. Only each Heart Rate value or GSR value cannot exactly show the levels of stress, can cause by congenital disease so both of them are necessary to analyze the stress value. The process is receiving GSR value and Heart Rate sensor then we can analyze the values by using microcontroller and coding to program the values and show by LED light to present the levels of the risk of death and an effect to be shocked, separating into 3 levels ; regular, nearly shocking and almost shocked. Each value is arranged by each age because of the  Heart Rate value’s differences between each age, so the values are separated into 3 levels by each age’s Heart Rate.  We have already studied in 50 representative samples by compete the  application forms and the consent forms to use the “Alerting device for prevention of death risk in dental treatment” while the samples are treated by a stress that can effect to be shock and has death risk. The program is written by an analysis equation between 2 values to stress value so the dentist could solve the problems as fast as they could. It can reduce the risk of death causes by the stress because of the alert in the moment they have too much stress.
