Our team of four had to design a wearable device for a target audience of our choosing for any problem that we wanted to try and solve. We chose to use an orientation sensor to monitor the position of a child in their crib at night, as a way to ensure the child faces upwards, thus reducing the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). A multithreaded Python program was used to compute rolling averages from the sensor data and display information on a GUI while controlling a buzzer as an audible alarm.
