Abstract
The project focuses on the creation of iOS-based software to link devices to track stimuli in the brain and vital signs on the persons of elementary-middle school aged kids. The application gives way to studying the signs of outbursts in the minds of many with mental handicaps and the brain and body's response to outside and naturally caused influences. The project is to be carried out on the campuses of Lake Murray Elementary and Chapin Intermediate School. Three individuals are 'wired' with the proper devices that passively record data and be activated by certain thresholds to obtain more detailed and specific data points. The current hypothesis about the direction of the data is that with the tools given to supervisory adults, children struggling with environmental-based sensory issues will be properly treated. By tracking these vital aspects of the body and mind, children and adults' conversations about outbursts or breakdowns will be much more focused and effective.
