1. Voice of the Customer Biomedical Engineering Project Opportunities Elise BernsteinJonathan Sanabria Peter CouttsNegar Salehi Travis EmeryCamila Serrano

2. Project Selection ●Met with Dr. Asllani - BME Department o Discussed three potential project opportunities  MRI Brain Phantom  MRI Compatible CO2 Monitor  RF Coil o We selected CO2 Monitor based on feasibility

3. Background Summary Big Picture ●Patients with respiratory distress need to have their breathing monitored ●Typically done by monitoring carbon dioxide exhalation Zoom In ●MRI is another common procedure, ●Produces strong magnetic fields which requires specialized equipment Gap ●Need a MRI compatible monitor ●Current product very expensive (~$15,000) ●Monitors oxygen inhalation ●Real time remote monitoring

4. Current State Toronto-based research institute has an MRI compatible CO2 monitor on the market. But: ●It is expensive! ($15,000) ●It is not very accurate So we want to make something better and less expensive.

5. Stakeholders BME Faculty/Students ●Dr. Iris Asllani ●BME Grad Students Hospital Staff ●Doctors ●Patients ●Radiologists MSD ●Our Team ●Gerry Garavuso ●Mike Walker

6. Objective Tree

7. Project Goals from Objective Tree Finished product: ●Marketable to research facilities/ clinics ●Price tag of <$800 ●Increased functionality and accuracy

8. Customer Requirements

10. Next Steps Further investigation involving: ●Additional interviews with Dr. Asllani o Obtain specifics on requirements o Acquire information on current technology ●Benchmarking current technology o Setting the standards o Identifying room for improvement ●Begin Voice of Engineer
