Supplementary Product Details
Hematoma Teaching Model
Currently, there are not enough nurses trained to deal with femoral hematomas, and the current training model is neither detailed nor adjustable. We are working on making an accurate model to mimic a femoral hematoma using an inflatable bladder. There are pressure sensors above and below the simulated hematoma to detect whether the trainee is applying pressure correctly to the right spot. A blue and red light will then be lit based on the sensor’s output, blue being the user pressing on the vein and red being the user pressing on the artery.

BUILDING PROCESS
WEEK 1
Client Meeting, Introductions to the project, Brainstorming potential designs
WEEK 2
Communicate with client, Decide on the prototype design, Purchase parts needed
WEEK 3
Begin prototyping-prototype the three subsystems(human skin, bladder, and electrical system), and decide on purchases needed
WEEK 4
Finish prototype-assemble all prototypes into one prototype product, Check in with client on the prototype for feedback, possibly attach electric pump.
WEEK 5
Adjust/redesign prototype based on clients feedback and begin assembly for the final product.
WEEK 6
Finish final product and work on presentation of product. Deliver final product and presentation on 08/18/2023
