Multi-Sensor Health Monitor - Arduino Project

Image
  The final year project we've created an health monitor application which detected your heart rate along with the orientation of which you hold the device. It also indicates in various colours based on the amount of beats per minutes collected.  There were many issues that occurred with this project from the thought processes to initialising how to make each part work then combined. As the weeks rolled by things became clearer and provided a positive outcome. The concept and development of this project was challenging as there was a difficulty reading the data with the leads and electrodes to the replacement of what output would be used. It was a constant trial and error with various amounts of researching and testing. However, there is an issue where the electrodes work perfectly using just the heart rate and RGB coding but when combined with the MPU92/65 sensor it was difficult to spot where the mistake was.  Unfortunately, I was unable to resolve this matter although ...

Recommender System

Recommender Systems What are they? Recommender systems are a class of information filtering methods that aim to predict user preferences or "items" that might interest the user based on their prior actions, behavior, or preferences. These systems are widely used in various domains, such as e-commerce (e.g., Amazon, eBay), entertainment (e.g., Netflix, Spotify), and social media (e.g., Facebook, LinkedIn). Examples of Recommender Systems : Amazon: The e-commerce giant uses recommender systems to suggest products that users might like based on their browsing, purchase history, and other users' behavior. Netflix: The streaming service uses recommender systems to suggest movies, TV shows, and documentaries based on users' viewing history, ratings, and preferences. Spotify: The music streaming platform uses recommender systems to recommend songs, artists, and playlists to users based on their listening history and preferences. LinkedIn: The professional network uses recomm...

Case Study : Engineering Ethics

Image
Case study: Smart homes for older people with disabilities Case Study 1. Activity:   Technical analysis   – Before the ethical questions can be considered, the students might consider a number of immediate technical questions that will help inform the discussion on ethical issues. A sample data set or similar technical problem could be used for this analysis.   For example: Is it possible to ascertain whether a breach has actually happened and data has been accessed? A thorough investigation should take place to determine whether a breach had occurred. There should be an analysis taken of the system logs, the network trafficking and other data records. What data may have been compromised? It can include personal details such as financial, health records, video and audio records. Is a breach of this kind preventable, and could it be better prevented in the future? This could be preventable if there were measures in place for any vulnerabilities. The improvement of safeguar...

Group Coursework - Planning Process

The following are sample of codes that may lead up to the use in our group project. The idea is to create a health monitoring device that tracks the heart rate along with motion tracking to then use the bpm to output music. There were a few changed made for this project.  Inputs - AD8232 & MPU92/65 Outputs - RGB & Serial Monitor  4 minute video uploaded to Youtube (code snippets.. images and video of completed project followed up with how it was made) MIDI           /*    MIDI note player      This sketch shows how to use the serial transmit pin (pin 1) to send MIDI note data.    If this circuit is connected to a MIDI synth, it will play the notes    F#-0 (0x1E) to F#-5 (0x5A) in sequence.      The circuit:    - digital in 1 connected to MIDI jack pin 5    - MIDI jack pin 2 connected to ground    - MIDI jack pin 4 connected to +5V throu...
