Project 2

Raspberry Pi Pulse Sensor/Oximeter

During this project we have chosen to peruse the MediBuddy and an Internet of Medical Things device. We have found and aquired the hardware listed below to prototype this iteration. We will be starting with Interfacing MAX30100 Pulse Oximeter Sensor with Arduino and altering it to suit our needs.

Hardware

• Andrino
• Heart rate Pulse sensor/Oximeter (MAX30102)
• Small Breadboard
• Jumper Wires
• 3D printed case/containment
• LCD Display

Project Plan

Now that we have tested with project 1 we know we need to have better hardware then our first try so this time we will work on prototyping a item that accurately gives you pulse and O2 stats. We will work together as before on most of it, because as a team troubleshooting seems to get done quicker.

Reflection 11/4/2020

• As awesome as this project is there are somethings that make it really frustrating.
• Arduino is one.
• To expand on that learning the basics of Arduino is harder then learning a new OS. It is not intuitive and it seems like any "Walk throughs" seem to forget the rest of what was done before.
• Now that we have set up the beginnings of a prototype there is light at the end of the tunnel.
• One thing to always check if not getting power anymore is if your partner may have switch the cables around.
• A couple tutorials we have tried are:

1. https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub/SurtrTech/measure-heart-rate-and-spo2-with-max30102-c2b4d8
2. https://makersportal.com/blog/2019/6/24/arduino-heart-rate-monitor-using-max30102-and-pulse-oximetry#max_library

• We have started with the second one because it seems like it doesn't jump to display information before you get information. (Trying not to count our chickens before they hatch.)
