1st Sprint - jaredwhichard/Capstone-Website GitHub Wiki

💡 This is our first sprint of the projects implementation. Over the course of the Spring semester, we will have 4 iterative sprints that will help us meet our projects goals of creating a prototype medical device that can ingest vitals, store them, and securely transmit them.

1st Sprint Description

During this sprint we will be focusing on establishing the physical prototype and associated code, that we can use for testing in the following sprints. We will base our device around the MAX30102 Pulse Oximeter and Heart-Rate Sensor that we have researched during our Design phase, and the Arduino, and/or Raspberry Pi. We plan to frame our programing in the open source Arduino examples provided from The PulseSensor Library and the SparkFun Library to create a program that allows us to ingest blood oxygen saturation and pulse, in the same program or sketch. We also want to 3d print a container for the device to keep is safe as we test with it, reducing the tendency to loosen connections, and provide even pressure during readings. We identified an issue with readings during the design phase when uneven pressure is applied between the sensor and the subject.
