Computer Applications Semester Project: Power of PAWsitive Thinking
As part of a Bioengineering class, Computer Applications in Bioengineering, my lab group was tasked with completing a semester project utilizing Labview software and Arduino hardware. We decided to create a game that can be used as part of a rehabilitation program for stroke and/or concussion patients. The game integrates motor and memory skills by asking the user to follow light/sound commands and decide whether to press buttons or keys. They also have to decide which finger to use for each task and will ultimately replicate button-pressing patterns from memory.
My specific contributions included:
-
Involvement in all code created
-
Design of User Interface
-
Hardware build
-
Testing iterations of the game on friends and family (COVID-19 safe)
-
Writing paper, developing presentation, and filming videos of the game in use
