_WEEK 1_ (FYP2)

 

Activity: 1st Week for FYP2 and Continue Progress from FYP1.

    This week is the first week for my Final Year Project 2 (FYP2). So now, I need to continue the progress of the project I proposed from FYP1 that has been left last semester. During the semester break, I did some research and analysis for my project to find answers and developments from the ideas and comments taken from both of my assessors during my FYP1 exhibition that has been held last semester.

    Actually on this week I supposed to have a meeting with my supervisor to discuss about the progress of my project and the comments given by the assessors during the exhibition last semester. Unfortunately, on the day that the meeting was held, I was unable to attend due to unavoidable reasons. Therefore, my supervisor and I have agreed to hold the meeting on next week. Now, my project "E-Mask for COVID-19" is now officially begins.

_WEEK 17_ (FYP1)

 

Activity: Final Week for FYP1 Proposal Report and Progress Report Submission to FYP Supervisor

Basically nothing much throughout this week. The proposal report and progress report was submitted to Dr. Hasmiza on time. After the final submission, I continued on how to develop my project. From all the research that I have already made, I was trying to create the project. This blog will be continued on the next semester during Final Year Project (FYP2) and it will be totally about developing my project.

In nutshell, I am grateful to Allah S.W.T for the strength to complete my FYP1 successfully. And a lot of thanks to Dr. Hasmiza which helped me a lot and guided me to complete the whole task for FYP1 during this semester. I really hope this subject will help me to improve my knowledges about this project and also improve my current CGPA for this semester. Special THANKS to my beloved supervisor for helping me throughout the process. May Allah S.W.T bless all the knowledge and guidance given by Dr. Hasmiza to me.

_WEEK 16_ (FYP1)

 

Activity: Submit a complete draft of FYP Proposal Report to Supervisor for correction and do plagiarism checking.

Overall, during this week I have completed my FYP1 proposal report from Chapter 1 until Chapter 3. However, there are some things in Chapter 1 such as project background, problem statement and significant of project that I need to amend well. After amend all those things correctly, I send my report to my supervisor for her to check the percent of plagiarism whether it below 20% or not. Thank to Allah S.W.T, it is finally below 20% which is 14%. 

_WEEK 15_ (FYP1)

 

Activity: Do Research on Blynk Application

The software that I choose to develop this project is Blynk Application. Figure below shows the starting interface of the Blynk Application. Blynk is one of the platforms that is being used by iOS and Android OS to control Arduino, NodeMCU, Raspberry Pi and several other boards over the internet. It was designed for the Internet of Things and can control the hardware by remotely. Blynk also can store data, show sensor data, visualize it and do several other things.

_WEEK 14_ (FYP1)

 

Activity: Choose the most appropriate SENSOR

During the presentation on the 12th week, one of my evaluators, Dr. Muhammad Noor, gave me an idea to use the pressure and humidity sensors that usually use in the ventilator. Since the function of my project is to monitor the respiratory activity of the PUIs and the air humidity they exhaled seems to be similar to the function of sensors found in the ventilator. So, I decided to use the same sensor to create my E-mask so that my project will function well.

_WEEK 13_ (FYP1)

Activity: Circuit Diagram & Sketch of Project

Referring to figure below, it shows the circuit diagram of the parts of the project. In this circuit diagram, the pressure and humidity sensors are connected according to the correct point on the Arduino UNO. Next, the Bluetooth module HC-05 has also been connected to the microcontroller. Based on the diagram above, this is a circuit diagram made throughout this semester. A more detailed circuit implementation is required in completing this project for the construction of the prototype to be made. However, this is the result of a project circuit diagram.

Based on the project sketch, the N95 mask has been selected to be used to produce this e-mask. This is because this mask is one of the best masks among other masks. Both sensors are mounted on the PUI e-mask so that respiration rate and air humidity exhaled can be measured. Stretchable fabric will be used to connect the e-mask with the box containing other components such as microcontroller Arduino UNO, HC-05 Bluetooth module and battery. The stretchable fabric has been chosen so that PUI is comfortable to wear and also the e mask is produced to suit the wearer's head size.

_WEEK 12_ (FYP1)

 

Activity: FYP1 Proposal Defense Day Semester July 2020

The presentation started at 9:30 am via Microsoft Teams. The assessors that assessed me were Dr. Muhammad Noor bin Nordin (MNN) and Sir Zarimin bin Zaharudin (ZRZ) . Both lecturers are from the Medical Engineering Technology Section. The whole presentation went smoothly. Thanks to Allah S.W.T.

Information about assessors:  

The slide that I have prepared for the presentation: 

In conclusion, after the presentation, I think should improve my project to be better in the future and can benefit the community much better. I must improve certain parts  in the proposal report as recommended by both assessors.
