Abstract : According to a study conducted by the National Health Service (NHS), 937 children died of heatstroke in the United States between 1998 and January 2023. Shockingly, out of these 937 deaths, 493 occurred due to parents forgetting to take their children out of cars. To prevent such tragic incidents from occurring, this paper proposes a simple system, "Temperature Call Alert”. The system operates by utilizing multiple sensors to collect and analyze data regarding the temperature inside a car. This data is then sent to a cloud platform for storage and processing. If the system detects a higher- than-normal temperature inside the car, it automatically sends an alert call to the parent's mobile number with a message. This alert call can help the parent to take necessary actions to prevent their child's life from being lost due to heatstroke. To implement the temperature call alert system, we used an IFTTT webhook with an IoT cloud. This allows us to give a call alert to the authorized mobile number whenever the system detects a potentially dangerous situation. With the help of this system, we can reduce the risk of heatstroke deaths caused by parents forgetting their children in cars.
