  1. Design Review April 27, 2010

  2. Our Partner: The St. Vincent Pediatric Rehabilitation Center • Located in Indianapolis • Services Provided (Outpatient): • Occupational Therapy • Physical Therapy • Speech-Language Pathology • Audiology • Each of our project teams work with an individual therapist to create designs that will aid them and also their patients

  3. Our Partner: The St. Vincent Pediatric Rehabilitation Center • Difficulties they are facing: • Budget cuts and lack of funding • Much of what they already have was provided through grants • Cannot purchase new equipment on their own or even fix things that are broken • In the winter, the children need to have coats on because heating the entire building is too expensive • The therapists need new tools to help them provide quality care for their patients • This is where we come in

  4. The SVAT Team • Advisors: • Theresa Gordon • Darryl Dickerson • Team Teaching Assistant: • Nate Cooper • Team Leader: • Gregory Pajot • Project Leaders: • Lisa Jasinski – AAC Team • Michael Coots – HEC Team • Gregory Pajot – Bike Team

  5. The Projects • Augmented Assisted Communication (AAC) • A website that aids patients with special communication needs • Hand-Eye Coordination (HEC) • Measuring how fast a patient can react and how accurate their reactions are • Bike • A device that is attached to an exercise machine that will monitor its speed and turn off a TV if the patient’s RPM drops below a threshold set by the therapist

  6. Augmentative AlternativeCommunication(AAC) Design Review-Spring 2010 Lisa Jasinski Shyam Naidu SVAT – AAC Team

  7. AAC is in the “Service and Maintenance” Stage

  8. Service & Maintenance • Fixing previously delivered project • Improving • Making sustainable

  9. History • 2006 AAC created the site • Problem: Need cheap personalized communication tool • Specifications: • Inexpensive • Accessible • Customizable • Identified solution: Web site patient communication

  10. History Continued… • Web site pro’s: • Inexpensive • Accessible • Personalization • St. Vincent’s lost funding • Links, pictures, & codes were lost or missing

  11. Previous Teams Design • Login Page • Customized features: • Number of options per page • Types of options • Custom Pictures • Custom Sounds

  12. Previous website

  13. Old Website: Flow Sub Category 1 Audio 1 Option 3 Sub Category 2 Audio 2 Sub Category 3 Audio 3 Sub Category 1 Audio 1 Option 2 Sub Category 2 Audio 2 Sub Category 3 Audio 3 Login Main Page Sub Category 1 Audio 1 Option 1 Sub Category 2 Audio 2 Sub Category 3 Audio 3 Number of Options Preferences Photos Personalize Audio Type of Options

  14. Currently • AAC Spring 2010 starting over • Learned PHP & MySQL • Created basic website with multiple working strings • Located old files

  15. Currently Recreated login Recreated add/delete user(s) Used index(s) for different pages Combined database to condense Enabled some preferences

  16. First set of options

  17. If we select Books

  18. If we select Story Books

  19. Sound File

  20. Current: Website • http://epics-wiki.ecn.purdue.edu/svat/backup2/login.php • http://epics-wiki.ecn.purdue.edu/svat/prompt.php

  21. Timeline

  22. Future • Ability to personalize: • Personal photos • Personal sounds • Choose # of options • Choose type of options • Possible: Add ability to create sentences at different levels

  23. Delivery • We currently have a working prototype of the website • Will be updated • Website with personal preferences: December 2010 • Brainstorm on website with sentence creation feature: December 2010 • User manual with coding comments: December 2010

  24. Sustainability • Why will this not be lost? • User Manual • Code Manual: Comments for code & guide for restoring site if everything is lost

  25. Sustainability • Documentation of location of files on EPICS server • Find server that backs up • Provide information for how to back up regularly

  26. Transitioning Mini-Lab to teach MySQL & PHP to future EPICS students Condense number of files and locations of needed pages

  27. Question?

  28. Bike Project Team Spring 2010

  29. Introduction • PROJECT LEADER • Gregory Pajot – Senior, Computer Engineering • TEAM MEMBERS • SauravBehl – Junior, Electrical Engineering • Collin Ramsey – Freshman, First-Year Engineering • Hyunwoo Shin – Junior, Electrical Engineering

  30. Partner Need • Quantitative measurement when using exercise devices • Indicate progress for insurance and doctors • Need duration of therapy, and total repetitions/revolutions • Motivation for the therapy patient

  31. Partner Need • Issues with measuring quantitatively: • The exercise equipment they have are ”hand-me-downs” • Can’t afford to buy new equipment • Some of their exercise equipment does not have electronic functionality • Others do, but are broken • Can’t afford to fix the broken electronics • Currently, Suba has to count revolutions in her head and use a stopwatch

  32. Project Overview • A device attachable to exercise equipment • Quantitative Measurements: • Times the duration of exercise • Detects and counts revolutions • Motivates the patient: • Therapist sets a threshold value for the patients speed • User Feedback System indicates the patient’s speed relative to the threshold • If threshold maintained, TV stays on • If not, TV turns off

  33. Brief History • Project began in Spring 2008 • A functional prototype was delivered in Spring 2009 • Proof-of-concept • Feedback received and redesign began in Fall 2009 (last semester)

  34. Our Therapist’s Wish List • Portable and adaptable • Works on a variety of equipment • Can move from equipment to equipment • Can move from facility to facility • Easy to “install” • Easy to operate

  35. New Design Concept

  36. User Feedback System • A series of LEDs that indicate the patient’s speed • Key design factors: • LED brightness and viewing angle • LED colors • Ease of attachment and transport • Durability

  37. PCB

  38. Motherbox

  39. Counterweight • Necessary due to the weight of the steel gooseneck
