University of Michigan Ford Biosensor

During my sophomore fall, I joined a research project working with Ford Motor Company to create a sensor that could report airborne virus levels. The goal was to create a device that could be added to the center console of Ford vehicles, specifically for the benefit of detecting COVID-19 in close quarters, and easily accessible via mobile devices. While the rest of the team worked on the creation and testing of the sensor, I created the app. I adapted code for a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) sensor to create an AndroidStudio app that polled an Arduino-based sensor and displayed a virus trending graph created with XML. I then worked on designing the user interface with drop-down menus and color-coordinated graphs to improve the user experience and engagement of the app. Be warned, this is my first mobile application project, so it's far from perfect!
