Low Cost Digital Thermometer and ECG Contact Person Amit Nimunkar Dept. of Biomedical Engineering Phone: 698-7413, Email: [email protected] Team Colleen Farrell (Team Leader) Tasha Benkovich (BSAC) Deborah Yagow (BWIG) Hallie Kreitlow (Communicator) Week April 23 to April 30, 2009 Problem Statement Emerging countries are in need of a durable, low-cost thermometer to operate with the MedCal, a handheld medical output device. The thermometer’s incorporated circuitry should produce accurate temperature measurements through the use of a human interface. Last Week’s Goals - Finish circuitry - Finish algorithm - Continue and finish the poster - Fabricate final prototype Accomplishments - Finished and tested circuitry - Soldered circuit on the prototyping board - Machined stainless steel tip - Assembled and tested prototype - Finished and programmed algorithm - Made Solidworks and Eagle schematics - Made testing video - Made poster This Week’s Goals - Practice presentation - Print poster - Install circuitry into MedCal - Test accuracyActivities Date Activity Time (hrs) 4.23.09 Group Meeting 3.75 4.24.09 Group Meeting 2.0 4.25.09 Tasha: Shop Quiz 2.0 4.26.09 Deborah: Shop Quiz 0.5 4.27.09 Hallie: Solidworks, Video, Quiz Colleen: Circuitry Testing 3.5 2.5 4.28.09 Hallie: Solidworks, Video Deborah: Individual Work 2.5 0.5 4.29.09 Group Meeting: Hallie, Tasha Deborah Colleen 9.0 9.0 8.0 4.30.09 Deborah, Colleen: Testing 3.5 Total Time (hours cumulative) Colleen 98.5 Tasha 76.0 Deborah 93.5 Hallie 93.25 Tentative Project Timeline Week ending: January February March April May Task 23 30 6 13 20 27 6 13 20 27 3 10 17 24 1 Product Development Background Research Brainstorm Decision matrix Final Design Prototype Testing Deliverables (due) PDS
