WarriorBots- #340

A Watch For Your Life

This season, Body Forward, was based on the concept of Biomedical Engineering. The WarriorBots brainstormed ideas to solve the problems of the brain, pancreas, lungs, and heart. We decided to focus on the pancreas, specifically Diabetes-Melitus. Our solution didn’t involve a cure for diabetes noting that scientists have been working on this for decades, but rather the monitoring portion of diabetes. Our solution is a glucose monitoring watch-cleverly named “A Watch For Your Life.” We interviewed many diabetics and they all said they hate pricking their fingers every day. We are implementing the infrared glucose monitor into a watch. This watch will have a non-invasive glucose monitor in addition to a heart rate monitor. This device will be a continuous monitor and will buzz/beep you when your heart rate/glucose hit extremes. Probably one of our greatest innovations is that this device can run on existing technology. Internally, there is an AMD Turion Mobile Processor, 128 Megabytes of RAM, and two flash memory modules-one for the system, and one for the user’s programs. With this device we hope to make an impact, not only within our family diabetics, but with the entire world.
