Curious about who we are and what we do?

Week 6 Updates

As we approach the deadline for the first draft of the final paper, we are beginning to put all of the pieces of the project together. Preferably, we're looking to assemble a prototype of the device by the end of the week. 

 The group met up on May 7th, the day before lab, to develop an agenda for the rest of the week. Additionally, roles for the final paper were distributed amongst the group. We aim to have a fairly developed first draft, something that could be comfortably submitted as the final paper to allocate more time for the physical prototype.

 In this week's lab we plan to:

  • 3D print the CAD file of the chassis device
  • Saw the edges of the device's breadboard to minimize size
  • Solder Arduino pins & M/F wires
  • Test receiving/sending data between companion app and device

Meet the Team!

Project PipBoy was the brainchild of a small team of four, and was developed as a part of Drexel University's freshman engineering course, Design Lab 3 (ENGR-103). Having been placed in section 065, which focuses on embedded systems and biomedical devices, we decided to build a wearable device that measures BPM, IBI, and body temperature, and sends diagnostic information directly to the wearer's smartphone through a Bluetooth connection, via a companion app that we are also building as a part of this project. Without further ado, meet the team behind this initiative!      Shayaan Husain Greetings! As the header infers, I'm Shayaan, and I'm a freshman Computer Engineering student at Drexel University. I've been interested in embedded systems and circuitry for about as long as I can remember, and hence, working on Project Pip-Boy with a team as dedicated as this one is right up my alley. In the coming years, I hope to work with artificial intelligence, nano...

Project Overview

As a part of Section 065 of Drexel University’s Engineering Design Lab III (ENGR-103) course, Group 10 took the initiative to create a wearable biomedical device, named the PipBoy. Built on an Arduino Nano, this is a low-cost, low-power device that will track biological parameters such as beats per minute (BPM), intermittent-beat interval (IBI), and body temperature. While there are many devices capable of sensing body vitals like these, the PipBoy is an affordable alternative to these gadgets, and also pairs with Android smartphones through a companion application to send diagnostics and alerts directly to the wearer’s phone. The long-term purpose of the PipBoy is to introduce a cheap and easy way for doctors and physicians to monitor patients and their vitals remotely. Just as this device connects to an Android application via Bluetooth, it would connect to hospital networks through the internet and allow medical professionals to keep track of their patients’ health without having...
