Health and safety monitoring and alert system and method

A health and safety monitoring and alert system comprising:

• a main system including:
• a processor configured to communicate health and safety information relating to occupants in a space;
• a readable and writable storage medium communicatively coupled to the processor and storing instructions that are executable by the processor;
• and
• a visualization system configured to communicate with the processor, the visualization system including a display interface;
• and
• a detection system including:
• a controller coupled to a module configured to detect health and safety information relating to occupants in a space, the controller including a controller processor and a readable and writable controller storage medium communicatively coupled to the controller processor and storing instructions that are executable by the controller processor, the module including:
• (i) a presence detection module configured to detect presence and movement of occupants in the space, the presence detection module including:
• a radar module configured to emit signals, detect reflections of the emitted signals from multiple objects in the space, analyze the detected reflections, and determine the presence and movement of occupants in the space, wherein the radar module is configured to use millimeter wave signals, and frequencies of the millimeter wave signals range from about 30 GHz to 90 GHz;
• and
• a Bluetooth module configured to detect Bluetooth signals from mobile devices, analyze the detected Bluetooth signals, and determine a number of mobile devices within the space, wherein the Bluetooth signals are Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) signals;
• (ii) a noise detection module including a microphone configured to detect predetermined sounds in the space and a filter, wherein the predetermined sounds include at least one of screaming, shouting, glass breaking sounds, gunshots, tamper sounds, words, or emergency keywords;
• and
• (iii) an air quality detection module configured to detect predetermined particulate matter or airborne chemicals in the space;
• wherein the display interface is configured to represent the detected health and safety information by using at least one of symbols, numbers, or colors;
• wherein the health and safety information includes occupancy information including the presence and movement of occupants in the space and the number of mobile devices within the space, noise information including detection of the predetermined sounds, and air quality information including detection of the predetermined particulate matter or airborne chemicals in the space;
• wherein the detection system is configured to communicate the detected health and safety information with the main system by a network connection;
• and
• wherein the visualization system represents the occupancy information by using a streaming protocol, the streaming protocol employing one or more of a real-time streaming protocol (RTSP), an open network video interface forum (ONVIF) standard, hypertext markup language (HTML), cascading style sheets (CSS), JavaScript, PHP:
• hypertext preprocessor (PHP), or combinations thereof.

A method of monitoring health and safety information of a space, the method comprising:

• providing a detection system including a presence detection module and a main system including a visualization system including a display interface, wherein the presence detection module includes at least one of a radar module or a laser module;
• detecting signals in a space by the detection system;
• analyzing the signals and determining human presence and movement in the space by the detection system;
• detecting occupancy information by the detection;
• communicating the occupancy information between the detection system and the main system;
• and
• representing, by the visualization system, the occupancy information on the display interface by using at least one of symbols, numbers, or colors;
• wherein the presence detection module is configured to track the movement of occupants crossing a line dividing the monitored space into subspaces and count a number of people in each subspace, the line includes one or more lines including a straight line and/or curved line;
• and
• wherein the occupancy information includes the human presence and movement in the space and the number of occupants in each monitored space and subspace.
