Hello there, this is Steven!
A Little About Us
We are a group of three Drexel University first-year engineering students. Mike is a computer engineering student, while Kat and myself are in materials science and engineering.
This blog's purpose is to report and inform anyone interested on what we're doing in our freshman engineering design lab.
The Project
The task given to our group is to create a wearable ECG monitor using Arduino technology to measure and record heart rate.
Our idea is to have the heart rate monitor interface with the user's smartphone via Bluetooth, becoming capable of not only informing the wearer of any irregularities in heartbeat but also call the police if the signal is ignored for an extended period of time, which would potentially imply distress and distraction while wearing the heart monitor.
Materials Gathered
By the end of week one, we have collected a few of the necessary parts including an Arduino Uno board, an Arduino-compatible EKG shield, wearable electrodes, a blue 16x2 backlit LCD display, a Bluetooth wireless transceiver, a breadboard for the electronics, a small Arduino speaker, and a set of buttons.

The blog will be updated with basic facts and information about our work, information about the group members, and other fun things as time passes.
This has been Update #1, look forward to our progress!
