Awards & Nominations
Space Dreamers 71 has received the following awards and nominations. Way to go!
Sleep Shift Scheduling Tool
PCST (Personal Customization Sleeping Tool)
Summary
It is a tool that contains specially designed hardware components and also consists of an application of methods of food organization (focusing on nutrition), sleep cycles, different exercise routines, etc.
How We Addressed This Challenge
About the tool:
The tool was developed as a set of three parts which has two models:
Model One (Sleeping mode)
A bracelet that fulfills the function of notifying the feeding hours, the food consumed report and the sleep cycles.
It has a red button to decline the recommendation of the device and a touchpad to confirm it, some speakers whose function is to suppress the sound at bedtime, along with an eye mask that fulfills the function of blocking light from bedtime. Finally, a pair of glasses with a led screen and detachable glasses, which communicates any notification that has not been captured by the bracelet. It also provides a means of communication.
Model Two (Day mode)
A bracelet with the same functions, even the headphones with the mask, but in this case the corresponding screen is part of the headphones and is removable, this makes it possible to eliminate any problem when using the mask. We consider the importance of this since the great lack of organization in the Circadian cycles of the people who are inside the International Space Station is ignored, since every 24 hours (an Earth day) they live through 16 sunrises, and their brain has not the ability to configure a correct sleep cycle and therefore it is not able generate Melatonin, among other problems related to these cycles.
To summarize, our tool helps everyone who uses it to have a correct organization in terms of: food, sleep cycles, correct consumption of medicine, exercise etc. The device works using Wi-Fi, we chose this option due to the great availability of this network, both at the NASA facilities and at the Station itself.
To explain the functions of the corresponding circuits we design the following scheme:
Software explanation:
Application with the ability to configure food control, rest hours, physical exercise, international flights and people.
In the next screen you can see how the user could set the configuration of the different food plans, calculate the calorie values, carbohydrates, proteins and fiber for each portion.
How We Developed This Project
What inspired our team to choose this challenge was the real problem that we detected in this area, and we think that the idea we have is really interesting and functional.
We approach it from a very human point of view, always trying to seek comfort and practicality when using the tool, perhaps even above a greater variety of functions, which would have increased the size.
The most relevant tools when carrying out the project were the following:
Tinkercad: which was the one that allowed us to make the 3d designs for the prototypes and their subsequent improvement.
PowerPoint and Word: These are simply for making presentations where the tool works is explained.
To give an example of the hardware of the tool, I will name some of the components that allow you to know the physical state of the wearer and make the corresponding recommendations: WI-FI Module, Heart Sensor, Blood Oxygen Level Sensor, Vibrator (for the corresponding notifications), A lipo battery, Charge Controller, Led Screen, SD Reader, Gyroscope, Accelerometer (these allow to know the current status of the carrier, if it is walking, running, if it has fallen, etc.)
One of the biggest problems was the choice of the format, if the bracelet was used or not, if the lenses would be comfortable or not, another problem was the choice of color, we wanted it to be discreet but pleasing to the eye and we could not put ourselves in agreement on colors.
How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project
The sources we use are the following. I regret that many of them cannot be represented in this exhibition, but I have to say that they were undoubtedly crucial when it came to gathering information.
