Team introductions – some old and some new Everyone- Share your Name, Major, Team Role
Phase 1 Problem Statement A tremor mitigation device is a wearable assistive medical device that helps to control the patient's involuntary rhythmic muscle movement. Specifically, the device should diminish the intensity of the tremors and augment the patient's ability to perform daily tasks. Currently, prototypes include a proof of concept device with a testing platform for the integrated system. The prototype in place lacks some features and functionality that limit the device's readiness for implementation. The efficacy of the device should be improved, specifically determining and refining the sensitivity of the system and addressing a wider range of movements. Drew
Agreed Upon Project Scope Modification Being aware the we were operating in parallel with DAQ and test arm team Ruled out active EMG signal analysis to perform electrical or vibrational stimulation to limit tremor (out of scope w.r.t. time) Address a less severe case of essential tremor Manifesting mostly from the elbow down, not the shoulder down Ashley
Phase 2 Highlights Defined a narrowed project scope and agreed upon scope changes with customer and guide. Updated engineering requirements, customer requirements, house of quality, and risk documents. Went to Strong Deep Brain Stimulation Clinic, got more insight into clinical aspects of essential tremor. Brainstormed concepts for device functions as defined by functional decomposition generated in this phase. Performed feasibility analysis, benchmarking, and patent research to select final concept(s). Generated system architecture document, control system and electrical flow charts, and drafted and engineering test plan for the next phase. Generated a project plan, team, and personal goals for the next phase. Spoke with Dr. DeBartolo – IRB from 17044 applies to our team Marie

Patent Research Concepts removed based on patent and market research: Gyroscopes Raised mass dampers Power springs and dashpots Mechanical governor Nerve stimulation Nick
Feasibility Research– Linear actuator Ruled out based on: High weight of components High cost of components High power draw Low speed actuators Drew https://www.ultramotion.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/inline-linear-actuator-d1.jpg
Power Block Feasibility Analysis Thomas iPhone 7+ battery capacity is 2900 mAh Time to recharge battery from dead to full with 2 A current draw will take roughly 2 hours
Batman Material A soft material that becomes rigid when a voltage is applied to the material. Hydrogel based material that would act like an actuator or claw when electrically stimulated (not a wearable fabric). Precious metal based substance with tunable material properties by application and manipulation of an electric potential (not feasible based on cost, availability) Proprietary material by SRI international (not feasible base don availability) Marie
