Welcome to the to the homepage for the Hyperbaric Chamber Intrumentation Project

Project Goal

The Hyperbaric Chamber Project is the newest project of TIES. Working with the UCSD Medical Center, this project is aimed to innovate an instrumentation module for an remarkable medical device called the Hyperbaric Chamber. This chamber allows a higher concentration of oxygen to flow through the body helping millions of patients fight bacterial infections recover from strokes, cure decompression sickness, and much more. This instrumentation module will gather analog measurements such as temperature, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, time, and humidity from the chamber and convert them into a digital format. This digital data will be accumulated and saved onto a computer creating an EMR(Electronic Medical Record). By doing this, a personal history for each patient will more easily obtained and the efficacy of the treatments can be optimized. Working with a captivating medical device, you will be given the opportunity to impact many lives around the world while expanding your experience and knowledge.
