What Makes This Project Unique?

There are three key aspects that make our project stand out.

There are three key aspects that

make our project stand out:

01 AI Tools Applied

Cursor is the AI tool we use most frequently, along with ChatGPT and Claude. After completing this project, I divided my AI usage experiences into two areas-coding and design. Below are my thoughts on these tools:

After completing this project, I divided my AI usage experiences into two areas-coding and design. Below are my thoughts on these tools:

Part 1#

Coding

Cursor

The main platform for building coding projects.


👍 1. Build both front-end and back-end frameworks

2. View and interact with various project files.

3. Auto mode selects suitable AI models.


👎 Occasionally deletes files, requiring careful validation before

accepting Cursor’s solution.

Using Cursor for Coding

The main platform for building coding projects.

2. View and interact with various project files.

3. Auto mode selects suitable AI models.


👎 Occasionally deletes files, requiring careful validation before

accepting Cursor’s solution.


ChatGPT

Address logical and method issues.


👍 1. Strong understanding.

2. Provide good project logic suggestions.


👎 Cannot directly access or analyze the file structure,

requiring manual input, which can be time-consuming.


Claude

Mainly used to debug code.


👍 1. Excellent at debugging code.

2. Directly displays the corresponding visual interface for the

code, allowing interaction to check the results.


👎 Although it provides an interactive interface, it cannot execute

actual deployment.

Part 2#

Design

Using MCP and code, Cursor can communicate directly with Figma.


👍 Can transform Figma designs into code.


👎 Although Cursor can convert Figma designs into code directly,

the generated code often differs significantly from the original

design and requires extensive manual adjustments to be usable.


Just a prompt, Claude can generate an editable SVG file for Figma.


👍 Useful for brainstorming design ideas.


👎 The SVG files generated are not fully polished and require

significant manual adjustments.

02 Stakeholder Communication

We closely collaborated with our sponsor T-Mobile, ACL recovery patients, and our instructors, which significantly enhanced our communication skills. Meanwhile, we received the guidance from UW. Below is our instructor team.

💡


Step 1#

Brainstorm

We iteratively developed a wearable knee brace with embedded IMU sensors. 

DIscussion

Whiteboard Notes

Step 2#

Hardware

Design

Evolved from a bulky mechanical brace to a lightweight, sensor-integrated wearable

optimized for user comfort and mobility during ACL rehabilitation.

2nd Design

3rd Design

Step 3#

Machine
Learning

A Random Forest Regressor was used to recommend personalized rehabilitation angle goals

based on each individual's specific condition.

Training Data Collection

Machine Learning Result

Step 4#

Software
Design

Live data from the knee is transmitted via microcontroller to a Firebase backend, then visualized on a web-based dashboard. The website was built with React and deployed online.
