22 February Abstract (preliminary) The Phoenix Project is a study group of the Twin Cities IEEE to develop an ambulatory blood pressure monitor for the Halberg Chronobiology Center at the University of Minnesota. The project’s goal is to make a monitor that is inexpensive, unobtrusive, easy to use and collects a week of blood pressure measurements. The Halberg Chronobiology Center wants the monitor for long term use on a massive scale to obtain measures of health, and to encourage the development of diagnostic, prevention and treatment techniques. The paper presents the project from the perspective of applied science, engineering, and project management, and particularly highlights the ramifications of open source development.
