The following week we participated in the VCEA (Voiland College of Engineering and Architecture) Capstone Exposition. This was the last thing I had to do as an undergraduate student. Along with senior design groups, the entrepreneurship teams from the Harold Frank Entrepreneurship Institute presented\u00a0their start-up company ideas.<\/p>\n<p>While I was walking around looking at other project ideas, I noticed that one of the bio-engineering teams had an Analog Discovery on their table.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/20160429_084801.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13777 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/20160429_084801-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"20160429_084801\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" data-wp-pid=\"13777\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/20160429_084801-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/20160429_084801-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/20160429_084801-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/20160429_084801-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/20160429_084801-1200x675-cropped.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When I asked, they told me that the Analog Discovery was the tool they used to debug their prototype during creation. And currently it wasn&#8217;t working, so they were using it to scope the various parts of their prototype to figure out why it wasn&#8217;t working. It was the main tool that they had brought in case their project stopped functioning.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/20160429_093313.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13779 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/20160429_093313-e1462216696717-338x600.jpg\" alt=\"20160429_093313\" width=\"338\" height=\"600\" data-wp-pid=\"13779\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/20160429_093313-e1462216696717-338x600.jpg 338w, https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/20160429_093313-e1462216696717-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/20160429_093313-e1462216696717-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/20160429_093313-e1462216696717-675x1200.jpg 675w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 338px) 100vw, 338px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Their company was based around a new type of blood pressure monitoring that doesn&#8217;t require a cuff which could save time.
