The first thing on Monday was to calibrate the motors for our 3D printers accurately. During the task we found out that found that all the step motors thus for; X-axis,Y-axis and Z -axis as well as  extruder were not on correct levels hence we corrected them all to improve print quality.

Sometimes it’s not easy to prioritize choices when everything seem important. All in all am really happy to be part of Eckharie and Elizabeth to tackle on BP for the villages project because, I know how much this will have an impact in in developing counties mine inclusive. With the currently available BP monitors, it is not easy for a layman in villages to interpret systolic and  diastolic pressure readings  for hypertension / hypotension; our project is  based on coming up with a simple, low cost and accurate blood pressure monitor which laypeople can check BP and be able to interpret/ get a meaning from the readings and give right direction to those being monitored depending on the results in developing countries.

We have started well, knowing much about blood pressure, doing some research and brainstorming as well as, learning and practicing how to measure BP and interpreting the reading through our mentor.

It was really nice joining some of the Houston Malawians doing a voluntary work at medical bridge warehouse; it was awesome; sorting out different medical material and packaging them in cartons ready for shipping to different countries..day well spent!!!!
