Capstone Project:
In spring of 2011 Amir decided to build a heart monitoring system as his final capstone project. His rational was that the medical equipment industry lags behind consumer electronic market by decades. His vision for this device was to assist doctors with enhanced monitoring capabilities of patient’s heart’s performance.
Heart disease is the second cause of death in Canada, accounting for 30% of all deaths. Moreover, . In 2011 heart disease and stroke cost Canadian economy $22.2 billion in physician services, hospital costs, lost wages, and decreased productivity.
Amir assembled a team of five engineering student to design and build this heart monitoring system called HeartMon. They build the hardware and software application required to operate the device. The application was designed on Galaxy S1 on Android software. Amir and his team successfully designed, built, and tested HeartMon in less than 4 months, with a budget of $495.
HeartMon’s ability and functionality was far superior to the incumbent Holter-Monitor that was designed in 1950’s. Some of these features included: real-time heart monitoring via smartphone, logging data online, detection of irregularities, logging user’s location, orientation and speed, and finally calling an emergency number if needed.
HeartMon was at least a decade ahead of its time. Its conception and development is a testimony to how the entire society can benefit from multi-disciplinary innovation.
