Week 3
We are currently setting up a time to meet with Dr.Hastings and tour her lab. We also applied for Sling Health and are going through the interview process for that at the moment. We still haven’t had a chance to meet with all three individuals who are suppose to be part of our client team at the same time yet but will get on that. We are planning to make a more detailed specification list after meeting with Dr. Hastings and Dr. Berkland.
Week 4
We met with Dr. Hastings today on Zoom and gained a better understanding on two problems that she has been facing in her lab. For example, how to quantify the amount of exertion pre diabetic patients are experiencing during their daily exercise. As well as, how to track the physical activity of patients who cannot use smart watches that rely on the swinging motion of the arm. Dr. Hastings revealed that most technologies are only designed to track the activity of able-bodied patients and not so much for patients who may have amputations or may use a wheelchair.
Week 5
Rewrote a new need statement and scope to be approved by Dr. Klaesner as we changed the direction of our project. We generated 12 new specifications for approval and assigned different parts for the preliminary report. We began working on a finalizing it for this weeks deadline. Will be finalizing and preparing for the preliminary presentation on Monday. We also scheduled a meeting with a course TA to overview preliminary presentation before Monday.
Week 6
Project is moving along. The majority of last week and this week was spent researching and finalizing our specifications. We are also planning on overview our lab notebook to ensure we have everything before next week. Looking forward to speaking to client, Dr. Berkland, about possible material to consider especially to satisfy the elongation specification.
Week 7
We scheduled separate meetings with our clients as well as a group meeting with clients. We began webpage design and set up. Also, we updated our lab note book and met as a group during class time to discuss next steps. Our group also attended Sling Health Team lead/member kick off and began specification updates for next week.
