      Project Description:
                     As a leader in the heathcare industry, the Philips Company continually seeks to utilize the latest  technology and improve the lives of their customers and patients alike. The objective of this project was to provide a consolidated cabling solution to help enhance the comfort of patients facing an MRI scan, and to assist their caregivers by providing a more streamlined, wireless approach to measuring vital signs. The Simplified Quad-Vitals Integration Device, or SQVID, includes a central hub for vital sign connections,  transmitting these signals wirelessly to the necessary software system for observance. This project uses two of Philips' existing wireless handheld devices as models for developing an innovative way to transmit non-invasive blood pressure (NiBP) data from patients, taking into consideration the needed safety requirements for equipment residing in a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) environment.
