NINETAILS → ARDUINO → PROCESSING

ECG Monitor

Ninetales soldering and testing guide cover

ARDUINO / FULL SOURCE

int ecgSignal = analogRead(ECG_PIN);
Serial.println(ecgSignal);
delay(10);

PROCESSING / DETECT

if (ecgValue >= threshold && !isPeak) {
  isPeak = true;
  currentBPM = 60000.0 / timeInterval;
}

Soldered the board. Acquired ECG on A1. Sent samples at 9600 baud. Built the monitor.

02TEAM DEVICE DESIGNBME 3050

10% GROWTH / 150 N SUPPORT / < 8 MM

Pediatric Arch Support

V1 → V2

Positionally adaptable orthopedic device for children ages 5–7. Development concluded at V2 functional alpha.

03SYSTEMS ANALYSISBME 2060

HUMAN / MECHANICAL / ELECTRICAL / BIOLOGICAL / CHEMICAL

Wearable TENS Concept

INTERFACE

The primary barrier identified in the project was the cumbersome user interface.

The systems analysis converged on one design direction: integrate the TENS system into a comfortable wearable garment.
