 The “Heart” of the Jungle

 Your group has been challenged to develop the next generaton of medcal technolog!

for !our local "oo# $s !ou %no& gorllas have been su'erng from ncreased rates of

cardovascular problems( especall! heart dsease# The )rst step to combattng heartssues n gorllas( as n humans( s to ma%e sure that &e have proper montorng

procedures and technologes n place#

$s such( !our group has been tas%ed to create a &earable heart health montor for a

gorlla that the gorlla &ll be able to &ear for at least one contnuous da! at a tme n

order to get the best nformaton about the gorlla*s heart health# Your group must follo&

the crtera put forth b! the "oo and must consder all the thngs that the prmate

%eepers have put on ther “thn% about ths” lst#

+hen !our deadlne arrves !ou &ll have to present !our desgn for the montor as &ell

as explan the ,ust)caton for !our desgn and &h! !ou made the choces !ou dd# -%e

an! researcher( !ou &ll also &rte an ndvdual re.ecton that &ould enable !ou to go

bac% and see !our o&n thoughts as &ell as !our group*s thoughts durng the desgn

process#

Criteria:

• Must be wearable by a gorilla for at least 24 hours at a time

• Must be durable enough to remain functioning while the gorilla wears it.

• Must be comfortable for the gorilla

• Gorillas are e#tremely curious and will try to interact with anything that ma"es noise or

displays a light.

 $our presentation must be created using ema!e or pre!i and must include%

•  & picture of what your design would loo" li"e

• 'hy your design ts the criteria

•  & description of what your deice is designed to monitor and how the ECG and/or pulse

sensor wor"s

• *ow you considered the !oo"eepers list and factored their thoughts into your design

 $our re+ection must include answers to the following ,uestions%

• 'hat was your group-s nal denition of the problem to be soled

• 'hy is this an important problem to consider

• 'hat was the most diicult thing about designing your health monitor and why
