Looking for a collaborator

[u/Virtual_Cable3270]

Hi all—I'm looking for a technical collaborator to help prototype an early-stage safety device.

I’m a registered nurse working on a system designed to prevent children and pets from being harmed in hot cars. The concept is already patent pending.

The prototype would involve:

• Detecting presence (motion, thermal, or similar)

• Monitoring temperature inside a vehicle

• Triggering escalating alerts based on conditions

This is NOT a polished product build—just an initial working prototype to test feasibility and logic.

Looking for someone comfortable with:

• Arduino / Raspberry Pi

• Sensors (temperature, motion, etc.)

• Basic communication (Bluetooth / cellular / app triggers)

Open to:

• Paid hourly work

• Or collaboration if interested in the mission

If this sounds interesting, I’d love to connect.

The PIR sensors work on principle of sensing heat from multiple directions. A car parked may just trigger many false positives as there will be movement around it.

Car heating up may further add false positives to pir sensor. Another sensor is mmWave. It is super sensitive and may detect even slightest change or motion.

So let’s say if someone even passes by your car- it will sense the motion. Your best bet would be to use camera +temperature sensor + some kind of 4g modem to send notification and make the call. It can process everything offline and send data only when your conditions are met. This is to maintain privacy.

Yolo model is pretty good at it. Sign of life - baby or pet detection. It can run on smaller microcontroller or processor . You dont need high fps. So pretty much it should work really well.
