This week  I tried working with the data coming from one of the flex sensors (wrist extension). I mapped it to the reading from goniometer.

Most of my time went is trying to save the data coming from sensors into a .csv file format in processing and connecting with bluetooth mate silver (http://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/264).

 

Plus the glove I am using right now doesn’t let the flex sensor stay at one place. I have decided to make a silicone glove that fits me. I did some research on nature occurring healing patterns and decided to go a head with the form-generation process  inspired by the golden ratio in nature : Sunflower seeds  patterns in the control of the wrist movement and pressure exerted on the median tunnel. The proportions and measurements of the human body can also be divided up in terms of the golden ratio. DNA molecules follow this sequence, measuring 34 angstroms long and 21 angstroms wide for each full cycle of the double helix [source: Jovonovic]. I have a word with Peter Menderson and he gave me few tips to use of silicone.

 

Next step:

1. Play with Data set (mostly interactive clock like representation)

-Data from the four sensors of the Wrist Health device (hourly-daily-15days-monthly)

What is the central question for this week?

-Data sharing, saving and synchronization btw Arduino and processing.

-logical structures with  real-time plug-and-play interoperability for user

• “Real-time” –  data from 4 sensors can be retrieved, time correlated, and displayed or processed in fractions of a second.
• “Plug-and-play” – user has to make the connection – the systems automatically detect, configure, and communicate without any other human interaction.
• “Efficient exchange of care device data” means that information that is captured at the point-of-care (e.g., personal vital signs data) can be archived, retrieved, and processed by application without extensive software and equipment support, and without needless loss of information.

-Semiotics to present data.

-Data during sleep/rest and during the working hours.

-The color coding corresponding to the number of hours/minutes spend in that position.

2. Start making silicone glove.
