Building innovative fitness technology from concept to prototype -- wearables, hydration tracking, and more
Complete Fitness Tracking Wearable with Heart Rate, Motion, and AI
This month we're building the proof of concept and 3D modeling a new set of enclosures. Protoboard assembly and prototype-unit integration are queued for the coming weeks.
Our complete development process from initial prototype to final product
Initial circuit design, component testing, and proof of concept on breadboards
Permanent soldered prototypes for wearable testing and validation
Professional custom PCB design for compact, reliable hardware
CAD design and 3D printing of wearable enclosures
Final assembly, user testing, and refinement for deployment
Proof of concept & 3D modeling new enclosures
Protoboard assembly with biometric & motion sensors
Integrated prototype unit & mobile app connection
Custom PCB schematic & layout (fall quarter kickoff)
5 working units assembled for user testing
User testing sessions & research data collection
We're looking for team members across all disciplines to help bring this project to life.
Join the TeamAutomatic Water Consumption Tracking with Smart Hydration Insights
This month we're building the breadboard circuit. Next month we move to a full working prototype with flow sensing and the bottle-mount enclosure.
SipSync doesn't just count ounces -- it considers the full picture to personalize your hydration targets
Pulls workout data from BioBand and the Fitness Tech app to increase hydration goals on active days
Uses local weather data to adjust for temperature and humidity, so you drink more when conditions demand it
Accounts for body weight and personal profile to calculate a baseline daily water target unique to you
Distributes intake goals across your waking hours and sends nudges if you're falling behind schedule
Breadboard build: flow sensor + ESP32 + temperature sensor
Working prototype with bottle-mount 3D-printed enclosure
Bluetooth LE sync & mobile app integration
Hydration algorithm tuning (weight / activity / climate)
User testing rounds with fall-quarter members
Deployment-ready unit & research data handoff
We're looking for hardware, software, and design contributors to help bring smart hydration tracking to life.
