Design Review April 27, 2010
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
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
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
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
Augmentative AlternativeCommunication(AAC) Design Review-Spring 2010 Lisa Jasinski Shyam Naidu SVAT – AAC Team
Service & Maintenance • Fixing previously delivered project • Improving • Making sustainable
History • 2006 AAC created the site • Problem: Need cheap personalized communication tool • Specifications: • Inexpensive • Accessible • Customizable • Identified solution: Web site patient communication
History Continued… • Web site pro’s: • Inexpensive • Accessible • Personalization • St. Vincent’s lost funding • Links, pictures, & codes were lost or missing
Previous Teams Design • Login Page • Customized features: • Number of options per page • Types of options • Custom Pictures • Custom Sounds
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
Currently • AAC Spring 2010 starting over • Learned PHP & MySQL • Created basic website with multiple working strings • Located old files
Currently Recreated login Recreated add/delete user(s) Used index(s) for different pages Combined database to condense Enabled some preferences
Current: Website • http://epics-wiki.ecn.purdue.edu/svat/backup2/login.php • http://epics-wiki.ecn.purdue.edu/svat/prompt.php
Future • Ability to personalize: • Personal photos • Personal sounds • Choose # of options • Choose type of options • Possible: Add ability to create sentences at different levels
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
Sustainability • Why will this not be lost? • User Manual • Code Manual: Comments for code & guide for restoring site if everything is lost
Sustainability • Documentation of location of files on EPICS server • Find server that backs up • Provide information for how to back up regularly
Transitioning Mini-Lab to teach MySQL & PHP to future EPICS students Condense number of files and locations of needed pages
Bike Project Team Spring 2010
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
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
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
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
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)
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
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
Counterweight • Necessary due to the weight of the steel gooseneck
