Project Description
Each team had to research and find a governing equation or group of them and determine the actual relationship using a data acquisition device. Our team found the relationship between voltage and pressure to determine if you can use piezoelectric material (e.g. electronic textiles) to monitor physiological outputs such as heart rate and blood pressure.

Lessons Learned
-
When conducting experiments, ensuring that when separate tests are being done you are only changing one variable to have consistent results
-
The need for flexible hardware if there are plans of implementing devices onto clothes or onto the body itself
