microMedic Kit with Board of Education Shield for Arduino

microMedic Kit Product Guide

The microMedic Contest Kit is designed to provide you with some initial application ideas you may use to participate in the 2013 National microMedic Contest being run by Parallax, Carnegie Mellon University and the US Army’s Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center (TATRC). The judging criteria do not require the kit or favor a specific microcontroller. The purpose of the contest is to design new open-source medical simulation and medical training applications (under Creative Commons 3.0).At first look it might appear that the microMedic kit is an odd collection of hardware, yet the components in this kit can be combined to build some interesting projects. For example, the pressure sensor may be used with the handheld nebulizer or blood pressure cuff. The magnets may be used with the reed switch and Hall-effect sensor. The 4-digit seven-segment display may show heart rate from the Polar heart rate receiver. The ColorPal may read the pH test strips.This kit is also available with the Propeller Board of Education (#32900) instead of the Board of Education Shield (for Arduino).
