PhleAid: Automated Phlebotomy Assistant

PhleAid's goal is to minimize pre-analytical errors and simplify the phlebotomy process. PhleAid implements a combination of three subsystems: a vial selection, handling, labeling and blood verification system. The selection system chooses the appropriate vial for each test through a graphical input and decision system that utilizes a microprocessor and database. The handling and labeling system minimizes user contact with vials by implementing our designed hardware and stepper motors. Additionally, a barcode scanner is implemented to identify each blood vial. Finally, the blood volume verification system utilizes photodiodes, LEDs and amplifiers to ensure sufficient the blood volume. Overall these subsystems work together to achieve our goal. \n&#8195

Addressing the Quality of Living and Nightlife in Nørre Kvarter

Copenhagen’s vibrant nightlife has become a problem for residents living in the district of Indre By. The purpose of our project was to research, observe, and analyze the behavior of young adults when partaking in nighttime activities located specifically in the community of Nørre Kvarter. To do so we interviewed locals, collected existing data, and created a plan to provide our sponsor with guidelines and sustainable methods for reducing noise and waste generated by the nightlife. Our final plan helped our sponsor raise awareness about the problem to increase Indre By’s environmental sustainability
