Tilt Test Enhancements

Biomedical Engineering Senior Design Team at the 2015 Design Expo at Michigan Tech

Team Members: Samantha Wright, Michael Briseno, Christopher Fisher, Jari Sague, and Jasmine Jauquet, Biomedical Engineering

Advisor: Orhan Soykan, Biomedical Engineering

Sponsor: Aspirus Heart and Vascular

 

Project Overview:

In order to improve current tilt testing data

acquisition, Aspirus Heart and Vascular requests

an integrated continuous monitoring technology

and software display. The current procedure is

either too slow or too invasive, and there is no good

method for data storage and analysis. In response

to this, we created a program that will generate

and display relative data, which will allow for simple

differentiation between various cardiovascular

states. To achieve this, we used LabVIEW as

the software platform and integrated it with a

continuous blood pressure monitoring device, ECG,

and goniometer to display the data in a form that

the physician can view and manipulate as needed.
