This week we met and discussed design specifications with the goal of establishing more exact figures as well as broadening our list. The design specification for our prototype are in terms of a rat animal model, but as the project develops we will be able to scale them to humans as well. We agreed that we needed to do more research on bioresorbable power sources to make a decision regarding the power source specifications. We reached out to Dr. MacEwan about this, and came to a conclusion that the power source must either be a constant external source or charging by induction, which requires more in-depth research. We also researched existing solutions to long term pain management. We are individually going to work on completing the research for these two items so next week we can begin our report writing and compare what we have found.
