As we close another incredible year, QBiT Execs want to highlight how proud we are of our team's hard work. This year, our team has designed incredible prototypes. With exciting plans for the summer and the brainstorming of new innovations, we can't wait to see what QBiT accomplishes in the future! Special thanks to our exceptional co-captains, Emma and Kaito, for making this year so memorable!

As we approach the end of the year, here is a final Easy-O project update!

Easy-O is a project aiming to create a portable, low-cost, and low-maintenance oxygenator that can run autonomously for over 12 hours without electricity. Operated on Raspberry-Pi and controlled via a user-friendly app, it will provide real-time patient data. The app offers manual and automatic modes, displaying oxygen saturation, pulse, and flow rate. The physical components were 3D-printed and interconnected with tubing, and all the components are kept together in a waterproof case.

We are so proud of the Easy-O team and the amazing prototype they've created!

As we approach the end of the year, here is a final IV Tutor project update!

IV Tutor is a project aiming to address common failures in intravenous therapy (IV) by improving insertion techniques, using a low-cost educational tool. It involves a 3D-printed forearm designed with neoprene fabric at the incision spot to simulate skin. The arm is used in conjunction with a virtual guidance system, which uses a we**am and ArUco markers for 3D tracking of needle movement, and a simulated vein, made with electrical circuits.

We are so proud of the IV team and the amazing prototype they've created!

The IV electrical sub-team has been working to define an IV insertion using electronic components. Using a microcontroller, the IV Tutor can provide users with confirmation of a successful insertion and warnings of an improper insertion. Our next steps are transferring the electronics into our model arm and developing actuation strategies to randomize the vein's position.
