In addition to building the circuit this week, we'll be working on building a prototype of the leads that will be used for patients. The lead will consist of two components: a permanent structure connected by wire to the circuit in the machine and a semi-disposable attachment that will be attached to patients' arms using tape. The contact between the two pieces will be made with small metal connectors. Right now we're experimenting with sewing snaps and coke bottles, which have the perfect dimensions and material for this purpose. We'll be working this week on designing a casing for the permanent part of the contact using SolidWorks. We'll share whatever we come up with soon!
