Project Proposal

Overview

We hope to construct an accelerometer-based concussion monitoring system that is contained within a headband. In addition, we will create a web interface that allows users to track their impact history. These two pieces (software and hardware) will communicate using Bluetooth.

Team Members

  • Jarrod Huther
  • Katy Mockett
  • TA: Ethan Shry
  • Professor: James Feher

Objectives

  • Create an accelerometer-based concussion monitoring system that can be contained within a headband
  • Create an ad hoc IP network using a master Raspberry Pi to collect data from the headbands
  • Ensure that the master Pi and web interface can successfully communicate

Challenges

  • We both have limited experience with circuitry
  • We both are comfortable working in Java but have never really used any languages beyond Java
  • No experience with sensor networks; creating a fully debugged network will be difficult

Budget

  • 2 accelerometers ($11.95 each, $23.90 total)[1]
    • Shipping (~$8.00)
  • 1 Amp battery & charger (TBD)
  • Raspberry Pi 0W- headband (free)
  • Raspberry Pi- master (free)
  • 3D box to contain tracking materials within headband (free)

Total Budget: $31.90

Materials

  • Raspberry Pi 0
  • Accelerometer
