This week, the group worked primarily on brainstorming an idea for a bio-sensing device. We eventually settled on the issue of Life Alert. The rest of the week was spent developing the design. On Wednesday, the group wrote an abstract for the device that outlined the motivation and overall goals of the project. The main motivation for redesigning a life alert system was that the current ones require a user command to activate; however, if the user is injured and unable to activate the device, no help will arrive. The rest of the week was spent writing a design proposal. The proposal contains the deliverables, technical activities, project timeline, facilities and resources, expertise and budget. Below is also a proposed timeline for the project.
