Hello !

We received one of our PCB from China, assembled and tested it. Everything works smoothly. The PCB is able to control one motor that will move our plat around.

It is very exciting to see our project materialise and getting one step closer to our MVP.

Hello everybody!

Yesterday Vuk, Tomas and Ethan assembled at Ethan’s place to share thoughts and sketches on the design of our product. To note also the presence  of Alex, member of last years FLUID Team), who sometimes joins our meetings and can judge ideas from an external perspective.

We have a good direction, there are still some details to […]

Hi everyone,

We are a few days away from our first prototype!

By the end of May, we want to perform the most basic functions as a user would: from log in, to perform an exercise, monitor it, and send the data on our server.

As everyone has tasks in cooperation with the other members, we need and needed to define properly what we want and how, to be sure that we’re all on the same page! This p […]

Hey there!

This week was sort of fruitful for T-Psy:

• We conducted an interview in La Source in Lausanne, where many shades were unveiled thanks to Mrs Montantdon, Chief Nursing Officer, especially concerning the physical design and the various icons that will be displayed on our screen-buttons. This aspect is important as everyone should be able to understand them on first sight. A […]

Hello everyone,

This week we had the pleasure to participate to a workshop with Swisscom in relation to IoT Systems.

We started the evening with an elevator pitch from each CHIC group. This was our first pitch experience in front of an audience.

Alexander Rusu, who is the Reasearch Director IoT, gave us several important inputs concerning communication and secu […]

Hello everyone!

Yes, you read the title well, our PCB has been ordered! For this, we thank Vuk for having worked really a lot to make the design of it in a very short time.

The others have been working too. Antoni has been working on the backend of our WebApp while Antoine is starting to do the HTML templates. Antoine has also nearly finished with the Logo!

On the design of the object we […]

Dear all,

This week we manage to make the first connection between our device and a smart phone. There are still a lot of works to do for the Bluetooth communication on the microcontroller and on the smart phone app.

Moreover, we are working on the data processing between the sensor and the microcontroller.

I wish you all a nice day.

Jessica

Hi everyone,

this week has been pretty quiet for our team as we have worked separtely to prepare for our next interview of Thursday. We have planned a visit at La Source and we believe this interview can help us a lot with the advancement of our project. Indeed, after many previous interviews, we believe the most suitable hospitals for CARING is private hospitals or clinicals. For this reason, […]

Hello everyone!

Nice to be back talking to you 🙂

A couple of weeks ago we stumbled upon the “budget participatif” of City of Lausanne. From the very start we realized that our project fits perfectly within the scope of this program. In the last week we have been concentrating producing the documentation required to apply to it. Who k […]

This sunday morning, our team meets to update our team contract.
We were thinking to the future of our project after the trip to China, to our future.

Apart from this, we enjoyed our easter vacation week very much !
We are now ready to go back to work and lead our project to the next Milestone and finally to China !

CaRing is on its way …

Dear readers,

It is with a real pleasure that we write you again. If you haven’t had news from us, it’s because we are working hard on having a working device. We are going forward fast and are taking advantage of the holidays.

We are trying a new representation of the plant 🌱. We are designing the PCB 🎙️ while working on the code 🖥️. The gamification is on the way 🎮. The mec […] 6 years, 3 months ago

Hello everyone!

During our last meeting we finally found out a name for our connected pill box that provides medicines for an entire week: Heptabox
From Ancient Greek ἑπτά (heptá) means seven which represents the seven days a week.

The business model was validated from all the team members.

The Milestone 4 will take place on 22nd May.

Regarding the UBS Innovat […]

Hi everyone!

We are done at MS4 and we are all excited to see what is next for us and we have planned several things for MS5.

So, we have named our connected crutch as ‘HapStick’. This has given our product a new identity which would be important to introduce it to prospective customers.

We have also decided to do several other things such as:

• Reduce the number of components from 5 t […]

Hi everyone,

It all start coming together and this is very motivating!

Since our last blogpost, we have done some work. Maxim, Urbain and Emilie have started a real collaboration and are working well together. Their next challenge is to design the interior of the bell’s shell. The specifications we have set for ourselves are the following ones:

• use less material as possible

Dear followers,

In these last days, we go on improving our project. Our designer Fabien is still test and think to a comfortable and desirable solution for sportsman in rehabilitation after a knee issue (LCA intervention). Alongside, our engineers Jessica and Basile are testing and building the electronical and technical part of the device. We do not forget the work done by our software and user […]

Hello everyone,

Last Thursday we had our fourth milestone during which we present the new direction for the final project.

We had great feedback from the CHIC community and what we can say is that we have a lot of work in front of us. However, this is something that we knew, when we decided to pivot, and we are prepared for the next steps.

For now, all the team is on vacation and we will devote […]

Hello everyone,

Last Wednesday we had the presentation of the Milestone 4.

As we previously explained, we decided to completely re-think the design of our lamps, since it was costly to produce, quite complicate […]

Hello everyone,

This week we managed to interact with sensors. We simulated the detection of a leg flection.
Moreover, the first PCB prototype has been made and we are trying to program the microcontroller.
Finally, we got our server.
For the following weeks, we have to find a way to make the electric connexions between the sensor and the PCB through the textile.

Jes […]

Dear readers,

Several topics have been discussed during our last team meeting.

First, a part of the group will participate to the IoT Workshop which will take place on May 8th at the Swisscom Digital Lab.

For the next weeks we have a lot of work to do. The business students, Jeanne and Stefania will work on the data ethic of our device and its Business Model.

Regarding our particip […]
