The physical model we've meticulously crafted is a state-of-the-art representation of the effects of blunt force trauma, with a particular focus on the thigh region. Drawing a parallel to the way the Arduino platform adeptly senses and translates signals, our model is robustly engineered to endure and replicate the aftermath of impacts equivalent to substantial kinetic energy. Its resilience is just one facet; the model is also equipped with a sophisticated visual feedback system. This system vividly illustrates injuries, from surface-level bruises to the more concealed internal damages. By providing such a tangible and visual demonstration, our model stands as a beacon of awareness and education, shedding light on the profound consequences of blunt force injuries.

Our Software and User Interface is the digital nerve center of our project. Just as a conductor orchestrates every note in a symphony, our software seamlessly integrates and manages every input and output. It's not just about processing data; it's about presenting it in an intuitive, user-friendly manner. Through our carefully designed interface, users can effortlessly navigate, interact, and extract the information they need. This harmonious blend of backend processing and frontend presentation ensures that our software isn't just functional, but also a pleasure to use.

Our demonstrative tool is central to our batterer intervention initiative. Designed to address rising interpersonal violence, the model visually displays the aftermath of blunt force trauma. Paired with software that equates the force to real-world scenarios, like a boxer's punch or a car crash, we aim to enlighten perpetrators about the true extent of their actions. By making the design accessible to all, we hope to deter future violent acts and broaden the tool's impact across various settings.

The group continued work of the model adding new sensors to increase accuracy and get more data such as linear slide potentiometers and accelerometers. New parts were also added to increase realistic material properties of the thigh such as a printed TPU shock absorber pictured to the left.
