## Module 3

### In these last couple of weeks of Physical Computing. Our team's main goal was to 1. Have a solid working sensor 2. Create wireframe prototypes and put them into Protopie and 3. Have a definitive way for the user's temperature/heart rate to be read. Once again, my job was to focus on more of the physical portions of the project. Though, this time I did go back and fourth between physical and digital since there was less work to be done on the physical side of the project.

I was not in class during week 11, I had gotten really sick and couldn't attend. To be honest I didn't do anything of note because the supplies I needed were at school. So in this website I don't have a week 11 section. To make up for missing week 11 I did extra work in week 13 based on what still needed to be done.

## Activity 1: Week 12

This week, Nicole and I focused on creating a patch to house the temperature sensor on Miffy. We decided this because from the feedback we got, this would make Miffy more relatable to the children. Both of us took time to sketch out our designs and iterate on them. My inspiration came from the hospital bands that store paitient information. I thought it would be a good idea to test and see if the wire would wrap around the wrist.

## Activity 2: Week 13

This week we didn't have a lot of physical things to do just yet. Nicole finished her prototype of the badge and I didn't have the right materials to create the 2nd variation of the badge. So we switched gears and worked on digital wireframes for the app. Nicole was doing most of the wireframe colour design where I created the illustration of Miffy.

## Activity 3: Week 13 Part 2

This is the makeup for my missing Week 11 Entry. For this section I created our final patch for Miffy's sensor to go in. I recreated Nicole's prototype with some minor adjustments. The fabric I used was: Heavy Jean for the backing and the strap, red felt for the border, and a very light mesh for the sensor pocket. Using Nicole's template and original prototype was extremely useful, it made adjusting easier on me and made a better secondary prototype for our final.

# Miffy, Medical Assistant and Friend

## Project 3 Final Prototype

This is the final prototype of Miffy (this is without the sensor attached). I think the badge is a great way to display the fact that Miffy is supposed to be a medical bunny. Having the red, white, and black colours brings it in together. She is cute, friendly, and fluffy for the kids. While being functional for the adults taking care of the kids. For future iterations, I think that hiding the wires away inside the animal would be better and make the kid more comfortable. But for the time being I feel like the project went very well. I was lucky to have such amazing team to help.
