Project Name: At-Home Sleep Stage Monitor
Group Number: 29
Group Members: Kiron Sukesan, Matthew Hwang, Yinong Wang

Current status of project: We have finalized our decision to proceed with the double headband design and have chosen a reference design for our dry electrodes.  Dr. Elbert informed us that we will not be able to 3D print the electrodes because polydimethylsiloxane, the polymer that we are planning to make the electrodes with, is a liquid at room temperature.  Thus, we will have to find a different manufacturing process for the electrodes.

Work planned for next week:  Look into different manufacturing for polydimethylsiloxane electrodes.  Start Design Safe analysis of our device.  Work on developing a CAD drawing of our device and the electrodes.  

Anything needed from client or TA or instructor to continue work: No

Current status of project: We have steadily worked on the progress paper and presentation and plan on proceeding with a dual-headband headset design for the time being, using dry electrodes.  We will continue to work on the paper and presentation this week.  

Work planned for next week:  Complete progress paper and presentation.  Start CAD drawings of solution and look into specific design considerations with the dual headband setup.

Current status of project: We are currently in the middle of narrowing down possible solutions for the headwear and developing models in CAD.  Hopefully a model will be 3D printed by the final paper/presentation date.  We started planning for our progress paper and presentation.  

Work planned for next week:  Complete progress paper and presentation.  Finalize a design to proceed with the project.
