Class 4, Haider, 1/7/16
For the patient health team projects, the team was interested in 2 projects and therefore found 2 subgroups with a 4,2 split. I am in the 4-member subgroup that will focus on the issue of tunneling. Tunneling occurs when the insulin that is being delivered by an insulin pump starts pooling out of the patch outside the skin and therefore gets wasted. One possible solution to tunneling is to integrate materials into the patch that will change color as soon as they get in contact with insulin. Another possible solution is having an electrode in the patch that will sense changes in the conductance of the skin and will notify the user about possible via a micro controller.
For the personal health project, we have data for 3 days. Starting from tomorrow, we are going to start to make changes in our partner’s metrics to see if they result in any possible outcomes. We will also present our ideas on Friday and see if we get any useful critique of our proposed techniques.
