Objective: The aim of this study was to design and manufacturing of the syncope detection and warning device in bathroom. Methods: This paper reports the design and manufacturing of the syncope detection and warning electrical device in bathroom that have been conducted in Biomedical Technology Incubator affiliated to Qazvin University of Medical Sciences in 2013 Findings: This device is designed for both home and hospital use. Interaction between different parts of the device results in timely detection and warning in bathroom . After syncope, it initially warns the bather. When there is no response from the bather, it warns the people around.
