TEAM MEMBERS: STAN WEED (TEAM LEADER), PAVEL KUZNETSOV, ERIC-THOMAS ARROYO PROJECT ADVISORS: DR. JOHN R. LACOURSE, PROF. FRANCIS C. HLUDIK Wireless Activity Monitor [WAM]
Background Blood Pressure Force of Blood against blood vessels Measured with inflatable cuff Measure Systolic and Diastolic pressure Heart Rate Number of heart beats per minute Measured audibly or electrically Count heart beats per minute Electrocardiograph (EKG) Monitors heart activity Uses skin electrodes
Problem Statement Take heart rate readings Take blood pressure readings Process readings onboard the device Transmit wirelessly to a local PC Present data in an intuitive GUI Design website
High Level System Diagram Blood Pressure Wrist mounted sensors Heart Rate On Board Data Analysis Wireless Transmitter Data Collection (PC) Display PavelEricStan Eric/ Pavel
Implementation Wrist Mounted Compact 2 in 1 unit Blood pressure Heart rate Wireless data transmission Determine wireless standard to be used Use requires minimal instruction
Testing Data will be acquired from multiple subjects This data will be compared to control data obtained by clinical devices Range and power consumption tests Study of human factors associated with final design Critique of GUI from occupational therapists (students and faculty)
Budget Wrist mounted blood pressure monitor $250(2) Wireless chipset $70 Microcontroller for data acquisition and processing $50 Circuit components $100 Cost approximation $470
Goals Wireless transmission Low Power Range 50 feet 2 in 1 heart rate and blood pressure monitor Compact Size of cell phone Onboard filtering No adhesive sensors Software Accurate data representation Simple graphical layout
Timeline November 5 th : Select wireless standard December 3 rd : Acquire testing materials Develop test procedure Select blood pressure unit Select Processor December 18 th : High level representation of device operation Start circuit design
