Circut Design and Prototype - Pressure Sensor LED Readout

$250-750 USD

Paid on delivery
I require a circuit design and prototype for a medical device that will convert hand grip pressure on a cylindrical object constructed of medical grade silicone to a LED Readout. The LED 5-bar readout will have red red amber amber green indicator of handgrip pressure on the cylindrical silicone bar. The bar readouts will indicate levels of pressure from soft (bottom red) to firm (green) Actuation of the sensor/readout will occur on application of pressure. De-activation will occur ~60 seconds after last activity. The power source will be a button battery. The construct must use smallest possible components. The sensor must operate being encased in Medical Grade Silicone. As it is a medical device, the sensor must be able to tolerate (in off state) 140 degrees Celcius in an Autoclave. The LED readout and power and MCU circuit will be detatchable to avoid autoclave. The force range would be 0 - 100kpa, and the sensor preferably must be cylindrical and measure lateral forces on the cylinder of med grade silicone. This will be used to measure grip strength of infants. Smaller is better. The sensor should read approx 0 - 100KPa. A sensor range need to be indicated due to dampening of the force due to the Silicone. That is - the grip strength will be 0 - 100kpa, but I need to be able to interchange the sensor to accommodate the dampening effect of the Silicone till I get an appreciable reading. The other way that this could be acheived is calibrating the MCU to account for the loss of sensitivity or having an adjustable sensitivity. The bid will include 1 Comprehensive Circiut Design and component list with specs, 2 Working Prototype (not including silicone encasement) 3 Posting the prototype to Canberra Australia - Address to be supplied to winning bid.

Presently I am doing a project similar to this, in fact we developed a grip kind mechanism (almost similar to your requirement) to test and calibrate the sensor assembly by holding and squeezing. I have 6+years experience in designing industrial projects. If I get a chance, I am 100% sure on completing your project with successfully output.

I actually worked the last 6 months on a system with very similar needs in measuring pressure. Somehow I would suggest to detach sensor+electronics for the autoclave (because of contact issues sensorelectronics) Otherwise there would be the option to just detach the battery. The bid would cover building 2 prototypes for evaluation - if then is everything in place there should be a 2nd phase to make the final schematics and pcb designed on your evaluation outcome and a calibration to your finally choosen material.

This seems like a simple project, assuming the cylinders are easy to manipulate.

My company has designed EMG sensors and readouts in the past for golfing applications to help improve hand-grip pressure. Your application is similar allbeit a liitle more robust. We are also familiar with medical directives in the UK.

Hi I'm a medical device developer with more than 20 years experience in this field. PCBs and software, but also complet devices are my daily work. Pressure sensores and materials, which resist autoclaving are usual. The project seems to be interesting but I need more information and details for a final offer. Further I can support you in the verification and validation process, which is needed for medical devices (CE marking, UL-60601 tests, FDA approval)
