Radiation Distance Safety Meter
Project Overview
After a patient treated with therapeutic doses of radioactive iodine (I-131) is discharged, the radiation from the doses can be potentially harmful to those in close proximity, less than one meter, especially family members and healthcare providers. Our client Dr. Sarah Hagi from the radiology department at King Abdulaziz University Hospital requested a device that alerts the patient and others if the patient is within one meter of a human. We will create a device that provides acoustic, optical, or vibratory feedback to alert the patient of their proximity to others.
