This blog post will cover the remaining two sensors that were made by the group, which includes the ECG and blood oximeter. Research concluded that commercial devices for these categories were either too large or too expensive to implement into the project, requiring custom sensors.

A Project Manager’s Could Have, Should Have, Would Have, Guide to a Successful A-TeChToP
Stephen Cortez (Electronics Engineer)
For the Spring 2016 semester, the A-TeChToP project was divided into two portions: the Central Sensor Suite (CSS) and the Seizure Watch (SW). This post will discuss the detailed instructions to wire, test, and program the sensors chosen for the CSS portion. First, there are five sensors in total that are used in this project which cover temperature, orientation, electrocardiography, pulse, and blood oxygen.

Up to this point, we have the 3D printed case, completed and working PCB, and the battery that we finalized that we use for the Central Sensor Suite. So, we are moving forward to the next step of the project is to assemble our final product. This blog post will explain in detail how the material is chosen for the strap, what kind of wires will be used and how to attach the sensors to the strap.

The A-TeChToP project was ultimately split into two different projects for manageability. Therefore, it was important to create requirements for both the Central Sensor Suite and the Seizure Watch. The Level 1 and Level 2 requirements are outlined in this post.

Following the modifications done to minimize the size of the PCB, a new design in SolidWorks was done to reflect the changes in dimensions. The new design does not only show a change in dimensions, but it also illustrates how we overcame the electrodes’ wiring problem without having any wires coming out of the watch housing.
