Baseline Goals

What Why How Testing
Digital Monitoring To provide
feedback to
medical
professionals		 Pressure sensor on
a tube, displaying
on a LCD		 Larger tube to be the
trachea, place a breathing
tube inside, try to use
device to read pressure.
Compare with current
accepted measurement
methods
Sound Warnings To alert medical
professionals of
out-of-range
pressure readings		 Buzzer Same as previous goal’s
Automatic
Inflation/adjustment		 To accurately
inflate the tube to
correct pressure,
and stabilize such
pressure		 Servo motor
attached to syringe
of air, pushing in
and out to control
pressure, based on
feedback from
pressure sensor		 Once we know that the
pressure sensor is
working, we can try to
inflate and see if we get
the right readings.
Artificially increase and
decrease pressure on the
tube to see if device works
