Progress Report 2/15

Posted by jaigirl on Friday, February 15, 2019 in Uncategorized.

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 base our design on from Respiratory Therapy. Now we have started to scale our design accordingly on AUTOCAD for another 3D print. We additionally started working on some Arduino code to run the motor which is required for our mechanical device design.

 

Regarding the application, significant progress has not been made because we are still waiting on Dr.Lancaster to send us the protocol for changing the oxygen liter flow based on the patients blood O2 saturation levels. We hope to obtain this by the end of the month. Currently we are still working on learning and are writing some code for both the frontend and backend design in Microsoft Visual Studio. Our application will be straightforward as needed for the geriatric population that will use our device and application.

 

Here is a breakdown of what we have decided on for the application’s functionality.

 

Step: Account Log-in

 

Option 1: Adjust Your Device

Option 1a: Input blood O2 saturation level

Option 1b: Choose physical activity

 

Option 2: Access Your Account

Option 2a: View user’s average O2 saturation values for an activity

Option 2b: View user’s overall inputted O2 saturation values overtime

 

Option 3: Settings

Option 3a:  Choose your oxygen concentrator

Option 3b: Add new activity

Option 3c: Adjust font size

 

Option 4: Help

Option 4a: How to use this application

Option 4b. Suggested Oxygen Liter Flow Guide

 

This past week, we have also finalized our visit to an IPF patient’s home on 2/23. We look forward to finally seeing how oxygen concentrators are used in home to identify any potential gaps in the requirements for our device and application that we currently have. Once we visit the IPF patient, we will have final clarity on the scope of our end goal as we continue to develop our application code and and prototype our device.
