To develop a system that will enable my staff to promptly notify our church's medical and safety personnel in the event of a medical or safety emergency.
The system and tooling need to be easy to use for any staff member, and the check-in and check-out processes need to be both seamless and fast for our medical and safety personnel.
1. Interviewed stake holders
2. Designed mock-ups and system flow diagrams
3. Identified the proper hardware
4. Prior to building the IoT application, we created a hardware simulator to test and build the system
5. Within NuvIoT we:
o Identified and configured how those messages should be received and processed
o Put this all together into a NuvIoT Solution
o Deployed it in the cloud as a NuvIoT Instance
6. Identified and configure the messages those devices were going to send
7. Identified and configure the different devices
8. Off-the-shelf hardware was not an option for the check-in / check-out process so we designed and built custom hardware per Heartlands requirements
o Identified the hardware requirements
o Used our standard hardware platform and libraries along with some very short custom firmware applications running on the device
o Identified a proto-type enclosure
o Used our iOS and Android applications to provision the devices in NuvIoT and configure them on WiFi access points
9. Designed a user-friendly interface for the team to create and register users and pagers. Ensuring it is intuitive and easy to navigate, even for staff members with minimal technical expertise.
Emergency Categories
Categorized emergencies into medical and safety sections, allowing staff to choose the appropriate category when choosing a notification. This ensures that the correct personnel are alerted promptly.
Implement a system that sends real-time notifications to designated medical and safety personnel when an emergency alert is triggered. Ensure that these notifications are sent via multiple channels, such as SMS; push notifications, alerting external hardware paging systems.
Design straightforward check-in and check-out processes for your medical and safety personnel. These processes should be as simple as confirming the appropriate personnel’s availability or status with a single tap on their end.
By incorporating the emergency notification system into Heartland, we can ensure that our staff can promptly notify medical and safety personnel during emergencies, resulting in a safer and more secure environment for our congregation.
Heartland is not just about improving safety; it is about fostering a sense of community, trust, and preparedness within our congregation. It sends a clear message that our church takes the well being of our members seriously and is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for worship, fellowship, and all other activities.
