During my capstone project unfortunately we had many critical path situations. Our project was a monitoring device, using a blood oxygen sensor, and accelerometer that can transfer data to a secure UI. Our goal was to make this monitoring device compatible and with one another. The issue was the sensors were not able to transmit data to our UI that NJIT offered. After speaking with multiple professors NJIT did not allow us access using 3rd party products. Something so simple changed our project. If our group from the start checked to see if all of our products were compatible, we would not have this problem. As a contingency plan we found a user friendly interface through mathworks that allowed us to create a UI and it was compatible with all our sensors.
