Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Began discussion of component analysis and constraints on overall system
Visit scheduled with sponsor to view radiology equipment and tour the lab
Research started into different foam options from existing products
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Split up system into 4 components for component analysis report
Meeting scheduled to view lab equipment
Risk reduction techniques discussed and formulated based on early iteration of patient comfort system
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Finish risk reduction presentation and go through dry runs before presenting to Professor and peers on Tuesday
Complete initial draft of component analysis report and share amongst the team to get feedback
Take pictures of all lab equipment and measurements of anything needed during lab visit (Sanil)
Compile notes from sponsor and present concept of system (Kevin)
Contact vendor for existing comfort product and find out if sheet of waterproof polymer they use can be commercially purchased (Daniel)

Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Determine WHY certain solutions are being used in our system (3/5/19 in person)
Find out material properties of existing air pocket products and figure out how to test them (3/5/19 in person)
Risks and Areas of Concern
Figure out strength and make up of air pockets, will they actually provide comfort? Will they have a long product life cycle?
Material selection of foam very important to ensure no radiation penetrates the material chosen
Making sure the product can be installed and uninstalled by a single individual
Resources or Information Required but not Available
Air pocket make up
Foam density response to MRI/ Radiation machine
Strength of EOL patients and their ability to safely mount and dismount the existing table
Schedule
Gantt chart updated with current progress
Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)
No budget spent
Progress on Report and Webpage
Website being updated weekly
