Mar. 22, 2019—We have been working on the Front End Design in BuilderX using ReactNative. You can see our progress below. Challenges have been faced with BuilderX crashing on us and learning to use the program and how React-Native works since we made the switch from Microsoft Visual Studio. We hope to finish this front end code...
Progress Report 3/1
Mar. 1, 2019—This past Saturday we finally had the chance to visit an IPF patient. The visit opened our eyes to the real life of a patient on in-home IPF therapy and was an informative experience. From the visit, we updated our requirements for the device and application. The main issues we noticed were inconvenience using the...
Progress Report 2/15
Feb. 15, 2019—Regarding the mechanical device design, we started to print the other parts of our 3D printed design at the Design Studio. However, these were not properly scaled because we did not have a particular oxygen concentrator to work with at that point. Thankfully, this last Thursday we were able to borrow a oxygen concentrator to...

Feb. 1, 2019—One of our goals for mid-February was to get an oxygen concentrator to build our prototype mechanical device for. In order to reach this goal we have reached out to the administrator at Respiratory Therapy at Vanderbilt and will be communicating with Vanderbilt’s home suppliers to see if they will let us borrow one. However,...

Progress Report #3
Nov. 9, 2018—Since our last report, we have made progress on the application development and design sketch. Because the app development requires an intense amount of learning before any solutions can be implemented, we have been working on developing the user interface. This will make the front-end development process simpler as the visual characteristics of the application...

Nov. 2, 2018—I. Project Overview A smartphone android application will be developed in order to change the oxygen liter flow wirelessly based on user input and according to patients’ blood oxygen level saturation which our application will be able to obtain used infrared technology. A mechanical device will be created to physically move the knob in order...
