Deep Breath Final Presentation

The intention of the DeepBreath project is to create a portable technology capable of providing test results similar to bulky lab equipment that determine fitness metrics through information in athletes' breath. A popular one of these metrics, and a mainfunction of DeepBreath, is a VO2 max calculation. To achieve this measurement in a portable device, Exotic plans to utilize optical O2 and flow sensors to gather data, rather than rely on large closed systems found in labs [1]. Although there is a portable device that already exists on the market with these capabilities, it is exceedingly expensive [2]. Therefore, DeepBreath will attempt to reduce the cost significantly by sacrificing some accuracy of measurement, with the goal of the final product being a moderately priced option for consumers who want to get more out of each breath.
