Progress Report Oral Presentation
This presentation was given on October 27, 2014 by Clark Ingram as a progress report for the proposed design of a low-cost, portable, Pneumonia diagnostic device. It covers the exploration of multiple design alternatives including several chemical methods of diagnosis, electromagnetic methods of diagnosis and acoustic methods of diagnosis. In addition, it shows our Pugh Chart analysis performed on each of the proposed alternatives which lead to the conclusion that tracheal sound analysis would serve and the best method of diagnosing pneumonia. It also covers some preliminary specifics on the proposed design of a diagnostic device utilizing tracheal sound analysis for pneumonia diagnosis.
Final Report Oral Presentation
This presentation was given on December 3, 2014 by Shay Aluko as a final report for the proposed design of a low-cost, portable, Pneumonia diagnostic device. It covers the specific details of the proposed device which utilizes tracheal sounds from individuals to determine their likelihood of having pneumonia. Specifically, it covers the four modules of the device, the software flow chart, the circuit and wiring diagrams, the printed circuit board, and a brief overview of the parts and manufacturing process involved. In addition, it covers some future intentions as well as things the team has learned throughout the design process.
