STM32 & NFC Integration
NFC Tags
These are built into the handcuffs and store unique ID and location data.
NFC Readers
Installed at doorways, they detect when inmates wearing the handcuffs pass through.
Health Tracking
As inmates move, NFC automatically updates their location and health data in real time.
By combining STM32 processing power with NFC’s seamless communication capabilities, this system ensures that inmate health data is continuously captured, tracked, and analyzed without manual intervention. This proactive approach significantly improves inmate safety, ensures accountability, and reduces the risk of incidents in correctional facilities.
Features

32-bit ARM Cortex® cores ensure fast and reliable processing of sensor data.
Low Power Consumption
Optimized for extended battery life, making them ideal for continuous, wearable applications.
Rich Peripheral Support
Integrated interfaces for UART, SPI, I2C, and more for seamless sensor connectivity.
Real-Time Processing
Capable of handling real-time data acquisition and analysis with minimal latency.
Scalability
Available in a range of performance levels and package options to suit different application requirements.
Robust Security
Advanced security features protect data integrity and ensure secure communication.

Usecases
Our healthcare project designed for the U.S. Federal Prison System tracks and monitors the body vitals of prisoners in custody. This solution includes multiple sensors, such as heart rate monitors, gyroscopes, accelerometers, and tampering detection, all integrated into the handcuffs.
The STM32 microcontroller processes data from these sensors with high accuracy and transmits it for real-time monitoring. This allows correctional staff to intervene promptly if any health anomalies are detected, enhancing inmate safety and minimizing the risk of custody-related deaths.
Project
Custody Protect
Wearable gadgets to monitor the Heart Rate, Accelerations, Magnetometer, Gyro of US prisoners under arrest were developed to prevent custody deaths.
