Week 1

From the list provided, we were able to narrow it down to two ideas: sleep apnea mask or heart rate monitor.  For sleep apnea, the idea was to modify the current mask to make it appear less bulky and taunting and more comfortable and smaller.  The latter device idea was to incorporate a heart rate monitor to a wristband to keep track of an individual’s heart rate when exercising.  After thorough research it was decided that the former idea would require more expertise thus coming to conclusion to choose the heart rate monitor. Afterwards, time was spent on researching the materials needed and drafting a possible design for the exterior and interior of the device. Below is the link for the design proposal for the heart rate monitor.
