Our senior design group includes Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Computer Science undergraduate students. Together, we were tasked with creating a wearable device that could help enhance the quality of life for PD patients by monitoring voluntary and involuntary movements and reporting data back to the patient via vibrations and a phone application. By detecting these movements, the device aims to notify the patient, which allows them to concentrate on different voluntary movements, tasks, and activities.

The product produced by this capstone project is a preliminary design that serves as a baseline for future capstone groups and lays the groundwork for further development and refinement. All in all, this project not only demonstrates the potential of wearable technology for managing chronic conditions but also determines the importance of collaborating to address complex healthcare challenges.
