Mind Watch

Inspiration

We were inspired by the lack of attention to physician burnout.

What it does

Mind Watch would be a wearable device that works in conjunction with an app to monitor signs of fatigue and physician mental health. Two physiological signs of fatigue are changes in heart rate and skin conductivity. The app would be a data hub for measurements from the wearable device and on-app survey.

How we built it

App using Android Studio and Sketchware. Piezoelectric vibration sensor and arduino.

Challenges we ran into

We couldn't find a way to conduct skin conductivity tests. We tried making electrodes out of anything we could find. Measuring pulse in a simple and cost effective manner was a challenge. We couldn't read from the piezoelectric sensor with the given amplifier circuit. Values measured directly from the circuit were too noisy.
