DATE: 2/6/2004
  1. Discussion on infrared
    • Irfan stated his opinion, from his research, on using infrared devices that:
      1. Too many instruments require ambient light
      2. Must be used kept at a particular range
    • Tim stated otherwise from his experience with infrared devices
      1. It is able to work better.
      2. High transfer rate
  2. Discussion on memory
    • Marketing flash memory
      1. Wayne and Jon brought up
      2. Accessories of the device
  3. Types of memory storage
    • Irfan discussed about a watch that stored memory - Good technology, but:
      1. It is too expensive.
      2. Too individualized for our project
  4. Type of band discussion
    • Jon stated that he wanted the band to have the name of the person
      1. Similar to the band medical facilities use now for surgeries
      2. Only difference was that the regular band medical facilities is that our device would be on it as well
 
  1. Discussion on transfer method of our device
    • Infrared transmission.
      1. Tim stated that the rate is instantaneous for 10k of data
      2. Clear connection
  2. Discussion on chip of our device
    • Wouldn’t work with MRI machines
      1. Too much magnetism
 
  1. Tentative agreement on subjects:
    • Infrared on transfer
    • Cost of a 64MB memory is $22-$50. Too much memory for us. We will research more on how much it would cost for us.
    • Data will at least be simple like 10k or so
    • Mobile device, MMS, for surgeries only
    • Assume that hospitals have displays
    • Reusable LCD screen


  
DATE: 1/30/2004
  1. Person signs in to the clerk/receptionist.
  2. Fills out the forms about allergies and other pertinent medical information and gives it to receptionist.
  3. Waits until being called.
  4. Receptionist calls the person
  5. Person’s vital are checked by medical staff/nurse
  6. Person then goes to waiting room to wait
  7. Person is called again by nurse or doctor
  8. They check vitals and discuss with patient what is wrong
  9. Doctor prescribes medication and the patient then goes to get it
  10. We discussed as a group, everybody, if these were right steps and if our project could reduce the wait time. Consensus was that the wait time will always be there, but we could make the process better from one of three ways
    • Patient might not be able to communicate and discuss with the doctor during the actual check up
    • Patient might not remember all the allergy and other pertinent information
    • Medical departments in a hospital are not able to communicate with each other about relevant medical communication
