Getting our hands wet
The project continues to progress; this week we not only started to identify individual tasks but also realized how to enhance our workflow. We should overlap our work. Hence, I am planning to work near Adam to define the medical terminology we should use in the application, and together with Sony to create the required informed consent. Denise and Sony are going to work on the bracelet design and Denise is going to crunch some numbers according to our budget.
Also, this week the group in Karachi sent us information about the “plastic seals” they are planning to use as the bracelet in the infant’s ankle. We were not sure if the proposed device is harmless, thus we are going to look more into that. In addition, they insisted on using active RFID devices. As we learn last week, the FDA apparently does not approve active devices for medical purposes. We talked about this matter with Rich, and we agree on working with passive devices.
Today we received the GSM modem and a pretty cool phone (although not the one we need for our project) to start performing some tests and initiate the coding phase. I will hopefully start learning J2ME and PostgreSQL from Adam.
