Seventh Meeting
The group has completed the construction of the top half of the pillow. In the following weeks, the group will have to come up with materials that could be used if the pillow was to be made in real life. Materials that have been used in the model include foam of the wedge pillow, extra firm pillow stuffing, and PVC piping. Materials that are being considered for the pillow if it were to be constucted in real life include the foam of the wedge pillow, tempur pedic memory foam, and titanium.
Free body diagrams will be drawn as well to help group members understand the effects of atmospheric pressure on a person when s/he is laying down or sitting upright. Additionally, a pulsoximemeter will be used to collect data concerning oxygen levels at different positions (ex. laying down, 45 degrees, sitting upright). All this data (even though they will be estimations) will help determine the best angle to position a person with COPD so that they can take in the most oxygen.
