* Chris: I've been working on the requirements of the prototype
and am nearly finished.
* Larry: I'm assembling the prototype team, and finished a course
on medical statistics.
* Jerry: I've been working on a survey tool for health and review
of bioinformatics.
* Dick: I've been working on the database with Germaine, trying
to understand its structure.
* Bob: Developing a simulation of the heart pressure and leveraging
the blackbody radiation distribution. It will be useful in Chris'
work on the requirements on sampling blood pressure to determine
the peak to peak variability, and assess the accuracy of systolic
and diastolic estimates.
Harald: Said they use monitors for the forearm and wrist and they
both are used in clinical diagnosis.
Prototype Requirements - Chris Adams
Review
Project Vision
* Acquire community knowledge about:
- Data acquisition devices
- HW & SW co-design
- Partition systems into subsystems
- Allocating systems requirements to subsystems
- Embedded software architecture options (round robin, round
robin w/interrupts, .., RTOS)
- HW options (MP, memory, gates, buses, ports, clocks,..)
- Acquiring HW components
- Testing embedded software
* Document regulars so they can be reproduced.
* Architecture - basic technology
- HW architecture
- HW component selection
- Embedded sw architecture
- Software language selection
- Cross-platform development tools
* System Vision
- 40 samples/sec from piezoelectric film sensor.
How many data points to emulate a wave form. 40 samples per
cardiac cycle from conversation last,. from Jim Holte suggested
this.
* Chose digital signal processing rather than analog because of
its large multi-use community and rapid learning curve.
* Embed analytics
- Systolic, Diastolic, Heart rate,
- Performs calculations over 5 cardiac cycles every 39 minutes.
Major Out-of-Scope Capabilities
* 7 days of data
* Device calibration
* Patient alerts
* Localization outside of U.S.
-Production
Business Rules
Discussion:
XML:
* Bob: XML is understood by too small a community and our members
and it will take too much power to process.
* Bob: we may need 150 samples per sec. I'll provide an assessment
of the needed sampling rate fort the sampling rate.
Chris: Is everything else ready for prototype:
Dick: It is not clear what is an event.
Larry: Where is the requirement to discard the prototype and to
let it evolve into something else.
