# Problem
Due to their busy work schedules, many families are faced with the inevitable situation of leaving the elderly alone at home. This makes it a challenge to respond to emergencies of elderly falls at home and to monitor the health of the elderly. There is a need for a way to remotely know the activities and health status of the elderly at home.

# Solution Overview
Our solution for above problem is that use Wi-Fi devices that could send Wi-Fi signals for motion detection while ensuring data privacy and make wearable devices with multiple sensors attached to assist Wi-Fi monitoring. We will build an integrated monitoring system combining Wi-Fi monitoring devices and wearable sensors used for emergency happening in old people’s home.

# Solution Components

## Detection Subsystem
- Wi-Fi devices sending Wi-Fi signal providing most data
- Wearable devices with sensors providing data for assistence

## Processing and Output Subsystem
- Algorithm that identify present situation
- User Interface that send alarm to remote device.

# Criterion for Success
- Common Wi-Fi devices that can be used to obtain the desired Wi-Fi signal
- Wearable devices that are convenient and less likely to leak private information
- Algorithms that quickly and accurately determine the current situation
- Simple and easy-to-use user interfaces and alerts.

Drum Tutor Lite

Featured Project

Team: Yuanheng Yan, Zhen Qin, Xun Yu

Vision: Rhythm games such as guitar hero are much easier than playing the actual drums. We want to make a drum tutor that makes playing drums as easy as guitar hero. The player is not required to read a sheet music.

Description: We will build a drum add-on that will tutor people how to play the drums. We will make a panel for visual queue of the drum and beats in a form similar to guitar hero game. The panel can be a N*10 (N varying with the drum kit) led bar array. Each horizontal bar will be a beat and each horizontal line above the bottom line will represent the upcoming beats.

There will be sensors on each drum that will fire when the drum heads is hit. The drums will be affixed with ring of light that provides the timing and accuracy of the player according to the sensors.

Of course with a flip of a switch, the drum could be a simple light up drum: when the player hits the drum, that particular drum will light up giving cool effects.

The system will be on a microprocessor. Or for more versatile uses, it could be connected to the computer. And a app will be written for the tutor.
