Week 4

At the beginning of week 4, the team finalized the project scope— to detect real-time post-

surgical leakage to reduce risks of complications in patients and to allow physicians to take care

of leakage-related issues promptly.

The team met with Dr. Chet Hammill again on Friday, to further discuss the project in depth.

The team, supported by Dr. Hammill, now better understand the basic knowledge about the

drainage system currently used in clinical trials, and identified potential limitations that could

be improved in the future. The limitations and potential improvements are documented in the table.
