Capstone Project - Artificial Light & Sleep

Description: Researching the impact of artificial light and light pollution on peoples health, and the adverse health effects that result from it.

Then developing a solution for it.

A semester/year long project.

Update #1: Mentor

So far, we have been corresponding with two mentors.

The first is Dr. Guy Warman, who is a professor at the University of Auckland. His focus is chronobiology and his research is focused on anesthesia and it's link with the circadian rhythm.

The second (possible) mentor is Dr. Katherine Sharkey, a professor at Brown University. She is the head of the sleep research lab at Brown, and her research focuses on circadian rhythm and specifically how it impacts women's health. As they are both experts at the highest level in their field, they will be able to fill in gaps in our knowledge, and offer super valuable insight that only someone who has been studying sleep for 15+ years can provide.

Update 2: Prototype design documentation

This pdf shows our initial sketches for our prototype design. It lays out the concept of our solution, which is a schedule that provides windows of time for users to complete activities such as exercise, eating, and sleeping. Doing these activities at specific times is meant to provide users with a schedule that is conducive to good sleep at a certain time.

This second document is our more refined sketches, which specifically outlines the appearance of each screen. We have our opening screen, main menu, data collection screen, and daily schedule screen. In the figma software, we are able to display what each button does, and different functions of the schedule. These drawings are meant to serve as a model for our final design.

January 26th progress update

We are currently working on what the first iteration of our prototype will look like. this involves evaluating the materials and resources necessary, understanding the scientific principles that we are using, and evaluating what it takes to make similar solutions. Our next steps are to get even closer to the creation of our prototype by determining the criteria by which we will determine the effectiveness of our product.

Here is a short video that shows what we have done prior to this point.

March 5th progress update

We are currently working on our final solution. As a group, we are constructing our website and designing mock profiles that will make up the core of our final solution. Last week, we completed our evaluation criteria that will help us determine the success of our solution after we are done.
