Current status of project: We visited the Rawlings test facility in O’Fallon, Missouri. Marc Schmidt showed us around the test facility and some of the rigorous testing that specifically helmets go through so that we had perspective on how robust the system would have to be. We had a longer conversation afterwards regarding the current starting point of the project and some of the larger question regarding the project. Other than this meeting, we identified three areas to begin research. These included current practice for skin temperature readings, the progressing of overheating leading to heat stroke or other heat related events, and the current studies relating skin temperature to core temperature.
Work planned for next week: We plan to review our preliminary research in the three areas listed above and then identify the areas that we should dive deeper into. The hope is that we can begin to split areas of research among our team members based on our strengths and specific parts of interest in the project.
Anything needed from client or TA or instructor to continue work: Nothing this week
