The electronics used for the minder smart watch were sourced from various different suppliers.
1. OLED screen: I choose a large 128X128 pixel OLED screen from the Australian electronics company Freetronics. I had used this screen in a previous smart watch project and it proved to be very versatile and reliable. (https://www.freetronics.com.au/products/128x128-pixel-oled-module#.WtvdWsiFPIU)
2. RTC module: for the RTC I decided on using the DS3231. This is mainly due to the fact that the arduino that I used for the project was rated at 3.3 volts. (https://www.banggood.com/DS3231-Clock-Module-3_3V-5V-High-Accuracy-For-Raspberry-Pi-p-938038.html?rmmds=buy&cur_warehouse=CN)
5.Heart rate sensor: For the heart rate sensor I used Sparkfun's MAX30105 board. This board also comes with other features other than the heart rate monitor such as; distance, particle detection and more. (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/14045)
5.Vibrating motor: To alert the user of a panic attack and for haptic feedback I used a small vibrating motor from Polulo (https://www.pololu.com/product/1638)
