  2. St. Vincent Pediatric Rehabilitation Center, Indianapolis • Services • Inpatient • Outpatient • Mission • Create a creative home-like environment for rehabilitation • Increase the quality of life for each patient

  3. Spring 06 SVAT Team • Projects • Two continued projects • Augmentative and Alternative Communication • Ventilator Transport • New project • Quantitative Toy Measurement • Communication with St. Vincent • Site Visits • Videoconferences • Therapists/project partnerships

  4. Augmentative and Alternative Communications Project (AAC) Purdue University EPICS Spring 2006

  5. photo:www.enablingdevices.com The Need • Inexpensive • Significantly cheaper than commercially available solutions • Easy to use • Small learning curve for therapists and caretakers • Comfortable and customizable interface for patients • Versatile • Adaptable content for multiple user accounts • Customizable format

  6. Website Demo • Can be used with a commercial touch screen • Two versions of the website: • Static • Dynamic • Both will use the same basic layout AAC Website

  7. Basic Navigation Menu for Static AAC Site Main Directory Food Family School Toys Food School Family Toys • Snacks • Drinks • Fruits • Mom • Dad • Sister • Brother • Grandma • Train • Ball • Bubbles • Video Games • Book bag • ABCs • 123s • Colors ABCs 123s Color Snacks • A-Z (song) Book bag • Pudding • Yogurt • Cookies • Pretzels • Crackers Fruits • 1-10 • Ruler • Crayons • Books • Banana • Grape Drinks • Red • Yellow • Blue • Green • Black • Milk • Juice • Water * Each menu will have image and audio/video option.

  8. Dynamic Implementation • Primarily utilizes PHP and mySQL database backend • Three database tables are used to store individual user information • Users • Structure • Entries

  9. Users • Each user will have: • Login • Password • Preferences • Girl or Boy voice • Pictures per page • Other Information • User Statistics (login) • Individual Tree Structure

  10. Structure Food School • Snacks • Fruit • Book bag • Colors • Pudding • Yogurt • Banana • Grape • Ruler • Crayons • Red • Yellow Recursive Storage System

  11. Entries • Each title entry is related to specific data • Image • Sound • Type of data (custom, linked, etc)

  12. Near Future • Implement single user website using mySQL database backend • Ensure that the touch screen is properly functioning at St. Vincent • Collect therapist feedback about improvements for next semester • Implement multi-user database support

  13. Ventilator Project Spring 2006, Purdue University EPICS

  14. Motivation • Constructing a device to implement a better way to move children on ventilators • Nurses and parents have to transport child on ventilators and is not an easy task • Ventilators have many separate pieces of equipment making it hard to transport

  15. Current Process • Young children, 1-2 years, that are not walking • in a stroller • Have all equipment separate • Have to bungee cord it down in vehicle • Low Mobility • Disorganized • Equipment not secure (Pictures from last semesters team)

  16. Goals • To meet the needs of St. Vincent Hospital which are: • To make travel easier • Consolidate the equipment in an orderly fashion • Ability to take in the car • Able to reach and see all necessary parts of the equipment especially in case of emergency

  17. Application Areas • Organization of equipment so easy access to necessary objects • Able to transport equipment and child easier in and out of a vehicle • Ability to attach to stroller and move equipment • Once at destination easy set up from organized compartments

  18. Ventilator Equipment • Ventilator • Ventilator battery • Ventilator back-up battery • Suctioning bag • Oxygen tank • Cardiac apnea monitor • Cardiac apnea monitor battery • Tubing Emergency Equipment -Syringe -Catheter -Trach. -Ambou Bag

  19. Sizes and Weights • Ventilator – 11”x14”x4” 14.8 lbs (with ventilator battery) • Ventilator battery – 4”x6.5”x2.5” • Ventilator back-up battery – 11”x9”x9.5” 30 lbs • Suctioning bag – 10”x13.5”x7” 9 lbs • Oxygen tank – 6.5”x15”x6” 8 lbs • Cardiac apnea monitor – 9.5”x7.5”x8” 12 lbs • Cardiac apnea monitor battery – 3.5”x5”x3” • Tubing – Diameter 2.5”

  20. Product Description • Ventilator Transport System • One system organized design for the equipment attached to the child and emergency equipment • Another case for the other equipment needed for the ventilator • Inverter used for car so use small ventilator battery pack

  21. Problems • Equipment • A lot of tubing involved • Certain areas must be able to reach such as power buttons • Sensitivity • Equipment produces heat • Fragile, sensitive to shock • Arrangement • Equipment is bulky • Some equipment must be placed certain ways

  22. Design Compartment 1 • Parts not attached to child • Cardiac Backup Battery • Ventilator Backup Battery • Miscellaneous needed items • Organization • Wheeled carry on compartmentalized to store different equipment • Equipment is secured • Attached to stroller using removable hooks

  23. Design Continued Compartment 2 • Separate pack of attached and emergency equipment • Ventilator and battery • Suction bag • Cardiac Apnea Monitor • Oxygen Tank • Emergency Equipment • Organized by pockets for equipment like a backpack • Stored in back of stroller

  24. Progress • Bought suitcase • Realized wrong size • Next size up too big • Built model of pack • Shows how to be made • Need to have frame and be built • Addition of inverter to use in car

  25. Future Considerations • Redesign • Change suitcase design • Be custom • Fit under stroller • Design framing for pack • External or internal • Material • Product Production
