Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Patient Family and Sponsor Meeting
Dimensions of patients arm
limitations of final device weight
torque requirements
suggestions for what to focus on
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Met with Sponsor and Patient's family.
Decided on the risk reduction topic
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Complete Model of the Test Bed in SolidWorks
in preparation for print and assembly
Research for Individual Component Analysis
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments
Sponsor
keep well below a certain weight (500g)
consider safety precautions, for when patient falls
Parents Comments
design for convenient wear
allow Max to eat using arms
play legos, videogames

Risks and Areas of Concern
Want to create a functioning Test Bed
to accurately model patients arm size, weight, limitations.
to perform testing of actuation ideas
reduce error in device size once complete
Weight of Device
may not exceed 500 grams (This may cause arm to pull out of socket)
