Current status of project:
This past week we spent the majority of our effort on reviewing study results of existing solutions such as the Heat Observation Technology (H.O.T.) System by Hothead Technologies and temporal scanners made by Exergen. Thanks to many of the supporting studies and papers from these products, we were able to evaluate the use of some of our design ideas and requirements. Also, we identified a variety of design specifications based on industry standards and client input. An important part of the design specification came from the National Operating Committee on Safety Equipment for Athletes (NOCSAE). We also continued researching the possibility of using a mouthguard as a way to take temperatures. Ultimately, our exploration of existing solutions and requirements has led us to lean away from this design for reasons that are laid out in our preliminary report. We currently have completed our preliminary presentation and are working on incorporating all of our individual areas of the preliminary report into a complete paper.
Work planned for next week:
We intend to bring together all of our write ups on background information, project need, design specifications, literary searches, and existing solutions to make up our preliminary report by Wednesday morning. Since the content is all present, our goal is to ensure consistent language and formatting throughout the report. Once the report is completed, our next steps will be to complete the DesignSafe analysis and begin work on the project website. We also plan to layout design ideas that support our reasoning to select the use of a mouthguard sensor or an in-helmet sensor.
Anything needed from client or TA or instructor to continue work:
No questions or requests at the time.
