Phoenix Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor Project
11/09/2008 Meeting Notes


Attendees

Discussion


* Presentation at EMB Conference 9/2009
* Chris: worked on Requirements. Specifically: a use case, a design, licenses, algorithm analysis.
* Larry: working in the lab, every Sat 10-12. Progress is slow but steady. Larry, Mary Jo, William Cheng, Vice Pham, Chase Turner, Steven James, Jim Holte.
Other things in lab. 3 categories: 1) to improve the sensor, 2) prove the Chen patent, 3)
William working a switch.
* Got a notebook computer donated to the project.
* William will work on the switch in the prototype.
* Other category:
- Opto-electronic sensor. Vince will work on this.
- Mary Jo is copying MathLab disks and placing her project online.
- Need recruits:
Categories: 1) Improving sensors, 2) investigating the viability of Chen patent, 3) building the microcontroller board, 4) Reducing cost of home ABPM kit to less than $100, 5) investigating the opto-electronic sensors.
* Chris: how dependent is the Chen patent to piezofilm.
* Recruiting, students, design lead,
- We need research engineers, given a set of requirements; they find a set of technologies that does it. and produces a theory of operation and a design direction.
- Bob Schlentz: what you are looking for is those who do analog design. Example Bob Pease, writes books on this. We might want to look at votech schools, and the Inventors Council.
* Bob Schentz: The latest election occurred in the lowest point in the sunspot cycle in the last 80 yrs.
* Gerry: working with clinical issues and Healthchord. Got involved with Dr. Milton Siefert that John Ware and the Rand Corporation developed 36 questions, and Siefert thought it was missing issues to produce the Health and Disease Questionnaire (HDQ) is good at investigating the health that we already know. So, Gerry is investigating reverse engineering the HDQ to general software
