Project Overview

We are assigned with the task of designing and building a system to monitor the vitals of four rats simultaneously. Our prototype should be able to detect each rat’s individual SpO2 level, heart rate, internal temperature, and respiration rate; with prominence going in that order. The purpose of this system is to ensure that the rats do not die or wake up while under anesthesia while being scanned in a PET machine. The system should convert, display, and record the vitals information and alert a user if a rat is leaving a normal anesthetized state.
