Final Year Project Progress Report UNIKL BMI

In this final week of the semester, I have done the report hardcover and ready to submit.  In the name of Allah s.w.t the most gracious and the most merciful. Alhamdulillah, all praises to Allah S.W.T because on His blessing and His permission will allows me for completing this final year project thesis.  I would like to express my gratitude especially to my supervisor. My deepest thank to my supervisor Sir Safyzan Bin Salim for never giving up to guide and support me on this project development from beginning till the end.  Last but not least to my beloved family on their support to finish the project, especially to my father and also to my friends who provide me on invaluable advice and assistance. The guidance and support received from all the members who contributed and who are contributing to this project,was vital for the success of the project.  This progress report has come to an end. Good luck to all.

After finished the exam, I proceed to complete the hardcover for my report. The hardcover format is attached in FYP website to be followed by FYP students. For degree's hardcover is dark blue color. I also had manage the forms for submission.  As informed by the FYP committee, we are advise to burn our project documents in a CD which should contains: - Picture of the project in .jpg format - Poster of presentation in .jpg format - Abstract of the report in .txt format - Video of the project in .flv format - Final report for FYP in .pdf format Besides, all FYP students need to upload their documents in FYP website.

I have done my project report by writing the Abstract for the whole report. The project description has been summarize in the Abstract and the contents is mentioned. A few corrections have been managed after a multiple checks by my supervisor.  I have submit my report to my supervisor to undergo the plagiarism detection. All students need to do a correction if the percent of the plagiarism is exceed 20%. The result for my plagiarism is 3% which don't need to do any correction for my report. The rest time left in this week is used to do some revision for my final exam. I have to make a preparation for my exam which held on Tuesday at 8.00 a.m and Thursday at 3.00 p.m. 

On this week, I have submit a draft of Chapter 1 - Chapter 3 to my supervisor. Some corrections have been done and proceed to Chapter 4 and Chapter 5. The Chapter 4 is Result and discussion which contains as topics below: - Result of testing - Result of project    : Prototype of the project    : App interface And the last Chapter 5 is conclusion for the Project. This chapter is attached with some recommendation that  can be used by future developers as a starting point in enhancing the system design of the project. Here are the suggestion for the future development: a. iOS- base smart phone:         This project can be upgrade by developing the app to be used in iOS smart phone. This development should be taken due to iOS smart phone users are increasing by time to time. So the app is not limited to Android OS user and there is no matter to be connected to smart watch since the wearable device is able to connect with any smart phone.  b. Database:       

On this week, I only focus on my thesis to complete the Chapter 1 - Chapter 3. Chapter 1 consist of the introduction of the project and followed by a few sub topic such as: - Background of project - Problem statement - Objective of the study - Significance of project - Scope and limitation - Thesis organization For Chapter 2, Literature review which is the summarize of some research related with my project. This Chapter consist of: - Project overview - Related theories - Previous work    : Medication Reminder for Elderly    : CADEX Medical Alert    : SmartMATES for Medication Adherence - Summarization of previous works While for the Chapter 3 is Methodology which will explain the process of the project and work flow during completing the project: - Project activities    : Project development    : Block diagram    : Flow chart - Plan layout    : App icon    : App layout - Hardware and software    : Android smart phone    : Bluet

As been informed, this week we have to present and do demonstration about our project. I have been assessed by Madam Lily and Sir Saiful. But Sir Saiful did not come due to health problem. So Dr. Imran replace him for my second assessor. The presentation going smoothly and some question has been asked. Alhamdulillah all is went well and the presentation has ended.  After the moment, I have to proceed on my report to be done. A few research has been made to completing my thesis.

On this week, I have more focus on my poster preparation. Some correction has been done by my supervisor. The poster is done by following the template given. The poster has completely done and printed.   Here is my poster attached:

There are only two weeks left before the presentation. I need to complete my project as well which only the notification part is undone. Besides, the final FYP briefing is been held on Friday, 3rd November 2017. After struggling doing the notification part, the configuration is finally function which both smart phone and smart watch have receive the notification alarm. Furthermore, I have change the sound of the alarm to a voice reminder. The voice reminder is using my own voice which is used for my project. The voice reminder will remind user on smart watch and sound "REMINDER ! Please take your pills" as the prototype. The project now is fully functioned and some modification are occurred.

On this week, I have meet my supervisor to ask him about the library used in the programming. I had run the coding after get the library and its function. The alarm app is functioned as the button can be clicked to set time for alarm. An adjustable clock is appear after a button is clicked. However, the project still not complete because the alarm cannot be transferred to smart watch and no notification could be sent. I have continued to learn and configure the notification part to be completed. An the same time, I had edited the interface of the app to look more attractive and smart. The interface edited is attached below:

I have proceed to find a source code and found it in a website which is a coding for simple alarm attached in the website. I take the coding and upgrade it for my project where the alarm can be appeared on smart watch. The simple alarm coding is use time dialog library which I don't have. So I can't run the coding properly and the app I upgraded not function. On the other hand, the FYP briefing will be held on this week on Friday, 20th October 2017 for workshop activity on Abstract writing, poster preparation and presentation skill. We have been told to write the abstract after the whole report is done. Abstract is the summarize of the whole contents in the report which explain about the project developed. Below is attached the format of poster that must be used during the presentation:

In this week, I have attend a class which is held by my supervisor. The class is intended to learn about the B4A software. I had got a lot of benefits and knowledge even for the first class. The class have teach on how to install the B4A software. Thus learn how to create some simple apps. For example: Chat application using a Bluetooth technology Radio app Guess number app Notification sample In this lessons, I have learn how to configure an apps by attaching an image, screen rotation setup, configure the function of buttons, changing the theme for the app and much more. It is fun having the class because it is easy to understand and gain more knowledge for the first user like me. My supervisor gave me some samples of simple apps to learn the coding and also a few tutorials and steps on how to configure an apps. From the class, I can start to proceed my project easily with use the knowledge I get from the class. Below is some apps that I learnt in the cla

After going through the holidays, this FYP subject is opened with a briefing which conducted for workshop on the last two Chapter 4 and Chapter 5. Chapter 4 - Result and Discussion Chapter 5 - Conclusion The briefing is held on Wednesday, 4th October 2017 and handled by an invited speaker. This session is explaining of what a points and content should be have in the chapter. We are encourage to attach pictures and explaining how the project process in Chapter 4. While in the Chapter 5, a conclusion of overall of the report must occurred and some recommendation must be suggested to approach.

This week is a mid semester break where all student having holidays for a week. However, I still doing some research to find an example source code to be used in my project.  B4A is way more easier to understand how the coding will functions. So it will ease me to learn every keyword of functions and know how to implement it. I used to copy some coding and run it to see how its functions.  I also referring Youtube tutorial on how the coding can be configured and the function of some coding occurred. I keep repeat this step to deeply know about the coding because this is the first time I am experience this software and just learn it for a little bit. I still ask for help from my supervisor as usual because there are some parts that I don't understand.

On this week, I had focused on my appearance of the app part for my project. As the objective stated before, the aim of the study is create a user friendly interface. In that case, I have try to design a simplest interface for the app to ease user to understand and overcome the difficulty to configure an alarm as they experienced before. Moreover, I also try to connect the both smart phone and smart watch via the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology. I have doing some research about the BLE which this technology is suitable to be used in this Medication Reminder. BLE is the primary new feature added to the Bluetooth standard in version 4.0 of the Bluetooth core specification. BLE have a unique characteristic which its extremely low power consumption compare to Classic Bluetooth. The range  covered  by BLE  is also suit with the project and low-latency of transmission. Table below is the specification of the BLE:

A briefing was conducted in this week on Friday, 6th September 2017. The briefing is explain about how to write a thesis for Chapter 1 until Chapter 3. Chapter 1 - Introduction Chapter 2 - Literature Review Chapter 3 - Methodology The format is provided where all students can refer at  http://fyp.bmi.unikl.edu.my/ . FYP website has provided all the topic that must be contained in our thesis. Besides, the template of margin measurements and font should be used also attached. We are also been told that our hardcover of thesis is dark blue which must be submitted on 22nd December with other documents needed as stated in briefing session. The FYP website have announcements which we should frequently check to update any information related too our subject.

There a just a few progress in this week because have Public holiday, Raya Haji. This week I only doing some research and exploring about the software used for my project.  I had try to do some simple function such a button for a specific function to help me get more understand and familiar to the software.  I had frequently contacts my supervisor through WhatsApp to get some explanation that I do not understand. I can use my emulator in B4A software, so my supervisor prefer me to use the B4A bridge instead which the app we creating can be directly seen on our own smart phone. I have attached a video on how the way to use the B4A bridge on last week post. It is way much more easier than using an emulator and we can see how the interface exactly looked like. Figure above is showing the B4A bridge app. We must connect smart phone and smart watch to a point to get the same IP address. The IP address must be insert in the B4A bridge and also in the B4A software in PC.

On this week, I still doing some research about B4a and learn how to install the software. I have met my supervisor to get some help and get the installer from him.  However, the installation of the software must be install correctly to avoid errors while using it. Besides, a lots of step needed to install the software because it got many libraries which we will use to call it in programming. After the installation is done, I did explore the software by referring to youtube tutorial. Here are some link that I used to learn the software by creating a simple function: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGzTXDJs1fM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXwpJ1Ph584 B4a can be connected using bridge to demo the apps on phone. So we don't need an emulator to preview the apps.

According to FYP calendar, this week has been scheduled for the first briefing for FYP 2 committees. The briefing will be held on Friday, 18th August 2017 in TTL 1. The briefing was intended to explain about the FYP calendar where the students need to keep update on their project development, progress report and frequently meet supervisor. Besides, we are also reminded to prepare thesis report which must be submitted after the final exam on December 2017. On the hand, I keep learn about the B4a by watching tutorial on Youtube channel.

For second week of this semester, I have met my supervisor to what i have learnt about MIT Appinventor. I used  to create a simple function of a push button where a message will pop-up on the same scree when the button is clicked. However, the tabs provided for programming are a lots and need more time to understand. Let say we want to create a button to appear another page, it takes a few steps that we need to fully understand for each tabs provided before we use and combine them. On that case, my supervisor advice me to explore more about B4a software which has the same functionality to create application software but this software is advance compared to MIT Appinventor because B4a can be used to develop apps for both Android OS and iOS devices. B4a is quite easy because the coding used is easier to understand and generally used by apps developer. Besides, its get me easier to explore and learn on how to use the software since I can refer it on website and Youtube vi

Assalamualaikum & good day to you, I will continue to update my progress for my FYP 2 subject after throughout the semester break. As been informed, I have done presenting the FYP1 and got some ideas from the assessors to improve my project. I took their advice and study how to overcome the small weakness to become more effective and excellent. As be reminded by my supervisor, I have do some research and did some revision about MIT Appinventor which I could use to achieve my objectives. MIT Appinventor is a web application that we can used to create apps for Android OS devices.  MIT Appinventor allows newcomers to computer programming to create software applications for the Android OS. It used a graphical interface which very similar to Scratch and the StarLogo TNG user interface, which allows user to drag-and-drop visual objects to create an application that can run on Android devices. Here I attached the link I used to get to know more about MIT Appinventor

This week is the presentation week and would be the last post for my progress report in FYP 1. I would like to thank to my supervisor, Sir Safyzan because gave me a lot of supports and favors. Thanks for never stop to helping me throughout this process for my FYP 1 untill the end and not forgotten also to my friends whose supports me. Here is my slide presentaion that I used on my presentation day. Alhamdulillah all is went well with His permission. https://prezi.com/view/Dq5Z3SBTo703ak1I326t/ Thank you for willing to read my posts. :)

For this week, I have start to do my slide for my presentation and meet my supervisor to show the finished slides. Sir Safyzan advice me to use Prezi for my presentation instead of power point. Besides, there are some parts that I need to do correction and practice for my presentation day.  After my slide is completely done, I has show it to my supervisor for second time with some improvements and information added. Sir Safyzan told me to do some practice and readings to get an enough preparation for my presentation day.

For this week, I'm just doing some research to improve my literature review and studying about B4a software. Besides, I also surveying a smart watch that can be used for my project.  The next day, I has buy a smart watch from lazada and try to connect it with my smart phone. The smart watch is cost only RM60 and can be used for both Android and IOS smart phone. This is the smart watch I chose to used for my project:  On the other hand, this week have an FYP briefing for the last time where the content for slide is explained. There are some important point must be attached in our slide to ease the assessors understand about our project. The slides must contains of: Problem statements (what is the problem you try to solve/) Obejctive (motivations and goals) What is our key idea/ contribution How we improving the current technology Methodology (what we have done and what we will do after this)

For this week, I have finished my proposal report from chapter 1 - chapter 3 before I meet my supervisor.    However, Sir safyzan advice me to add more information into the literature review chapter.  I also have done correct my flowchart and some parts of methodology chapter.This is the corrected flowchart: I meet my supervisor on Friday to check my proposal report before I submit it to Madam Marwangi to undergo a plagarism check. There are some parts for cost estimation that I need to correct and the corrected cost estimation are as below: After done doing the correction, the proposal report from chapter 1 to chapter 3 has been submitted to Madam Marwangi by email and wait for her feedback either my proposal need to change or not. As been stated by Madam Marwangi, the percentage of plagarism must be less than 30%.

I have continued doing my readings for my Literature review chapter in term of existed product to be improved and developed. Meanwhile, I also work on my flow chart to show to my supervisor. Below is the draft for my flowchart diagram: For the third day in this week, I went to meet my supervisor to shows my progress. There some parts in the flowchart must be corrected and sir Safyzan suggest me the other ideas for the flowchart. Besides, Sir Safyzan also suggest me to read this article and get more understand about it:  http://maneeshjuneja.com/blog/2014/8/11/android-wear-in-health-care   https://www.imedicalapps.com/2015/03/review-medisafe-app-reminders/ The B4a-bridge have been installed in my android smart phone and been checked by Sir Safyzan to makesure either it can be used or not. The apps is successfully logged in which means the smart phone can be used for my project.

I keep doing some research for my literature review because I need to collect some information from certain journal or article to be summarized. It take more time to work it on because I need to understand every single process of the existed product. Sir Safyzan advice me to understand the abstract for the existed product ans relate it with my project.  I have meet my supervisor and show him my corrected block diagram and discussing about the next subtopic which flow chart. He also told me to study about how to do a patent layout for my "Plan layout" subtopic. Here I attach my corrected block digram below: Corrected block diagram I get more into doing a research for this week and surveying a suitable smart phone and smart watch to buy. The smart phone must use android system and 4.3 version above because Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) service is not supported by android version below 4.3. Last but not least, I keep doing more research and have started to do my f

Some research about android apps block diagram have been done and I found a quite similar application block diagram that I can used for my project. However, this block diagram have some parts must be correccted after I show it to my supervisor. The output in the block diagram above must be changed because my project is connected wit a wearable device which the alarm notification will appear on the smart watch's screen. Thus the wearable devices is an item for output of the process. Furthermore, I used to fill up my free time by watching tutorial video about how to design an interface for mobile apps using the B4a software. This video is shows about how to design an interface for login part. For example, this login part might be used in certain apps that need a security before been accessed. This part is related with my project since my supervisor come up with his idea to secure the reminder apps with a password security to avoid any unnecessary changes and keep

In this week, I have do some research to create a block diagram. The main structure of a block diagram must have an input and output. I have create a block diagram before I meet my supervisor to show the draft to him. After i've done doing the block diagram and the correction for my Chapter 1 in proposal report, i meet my supervisor to show it all. So Sir Safyzan advice me to correct my block diagram by doing some reasearch to find apps android block diagram+wearable devices. Beside, Sir Safyzan prefer me to read the abstract of the similar existed product to get more understand about my project flow. Here are some links I have attached which I used to refer the existed block diagram: http://airccse.org/journal/mpict/papers/6215ijmpict04.pdf http://www.iis.sinica.edu.tw/papers/janeliu/8683-F.pdf https://www.ndafp.org/image/cache/Tsuchiya-Handouts.pdf https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3919626/ For the proposal report, there are some parts I ne

For this week, I used to start proceeding my proposal report for the first chapter. The first chapter is INTRODUCTION which I will introduce about my project and why am I developing the study. This chapter containing of: 1.1 - Background of project 1.2 - Problem statement 1.3 - Objectives of project 1.4 - Significance of project 1.5 - Scope and limitations of project 1.6 - Chapter's summary I have done some part for this chapter and show it to my supervisor to be checked whether it is need to do correction or not. There are some parts must be corrected which is the objective and problem statement because the current point are not suitable. For chapter 2 is Literature Review, where we need to provide some facts either from a news paper or online research. This chapter will explain the causes of project want to be invented. however, I haven't start writing on this chapter yet. Here is the contents of chapter 2: 2.1 - Introduction about the project

I do some research about the existed product on how its functioning and seeking more ideas to improving my project's development. I found a product in a form of watch/ bracelet which will alert the user to take medicine as prescribed. The input and configuration are all set on the watch and make vibration to notify the user. I have meet my supervisor to show my research and ask about a suitable software I could use to create an andorid apps. So Sir Safyzan used to suggest me to use Basic4android software (B4a) and study about how the software works.  https://www.b4x.com/b4a.html I used a Youtube channel to get to know about the software. The tutorial is attached below:  On 29th March, I have attend the FYP briefing which the study is explaining the contents for proposal report. The proposal report consist of 5 major chapters: INTRODUCTION LITERATURE REVIEW METHODOLOGY RESULT AND DISCUSSION CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION We have go through about the

I do more research about the wearable device that will used in my project. There are a lot of existed functions for wearable devices to monitor people's health. From the researches, there are many medical system use a wrist band such as monitoring any symptom in a body, monitoring heart bit rate, used as medication reminder and etc. I do meet my supervisor to get more advices and suggestions about my researches. I took a medication reminder as my topic to be approached and get more understand on how the project will function and processed. After some helps and explanations from my supervisor, I understands that the study is planned to create a new apps which could be an interface for android smart phone. A wearable device is used to display the alarm nootification to ease user to notify it. Both smart devices are connected by Bluetooth service. I have doing some research about the software I could use to create an android apps. There are many excellent platf

The first briefing for FYP1 are finally been managed on this week where is the contents needed for logbook/ blog are explained. Logbook/ blog should consist of: Project planning Project design Description on the project: - block diagram and flow chart Circuit description and operation List of component used PCB layout Data collection/ results Conclusion All students also been noticed about the FYP assessments scheme which are: Progress report (logbook/ blog) => 30% Presentation                               => 35% Project proposal                         => 35%                                         Total :      100% We also been told to remind our supervisor to register our name and the title of project. The informatiom for FYP can be check on this website  http://fyp.bmi.unikl.edu.my/ Here is the calendar for FYP activities 2017:

I went to meet my supervisor, sir Safyzan to consult and discussing about my project title. I have show my short-listed project titles and ask him if he have any ideas and suggestion to be chose. After done some discussions and research, my supervisor suggest me to do a mobile apps for android which is used as a reminder for guiding any kind of healthcare. This project will use an android smart phone and a wearable device which will be connected via a Bluetooth. So the title for the project has been decide which title "Development of Medication Reminder Apps for Wearable Devices". Sir Safyzan told me to do more research and reading to get started. Besides, this week is supposedly have an FYP 1 briefing but it was cancelled and postponed to next week due to some technical problems. So I used to fill up the free time to find senior's report and thesis to gain my knowledge on how to write a good report and proposal. There some links I do research on r

In this week, I used to classify some project I’m interested on that could be my FYP project. I do some survey for each suggested title and doing some research before making a choice. Here are some class and titles of project short-listed: Security system (for house or building) Any product that related with Internet of Thing (IOT) Lamp controller using android apps IN and OUT database system Developing a smart devices I have do research for each point above to know what kind of software and hardware they will used. There are a lot of existed project I can refer for choosing a title which could help me to understand and get more ideas to do project FYP.

On the first week of the semester, I used to find a lecturer who is able to be a supervisor for my FYP subject.  After doing some searching, I found sir Safyzan Bin Salim and decide to be his FYP’s student. Sir safyzan is one of lecturer in Data comm. Section and agreed to be my lecturer advisor. I believe in my choice and I know sir Safyzan  will be a great advisor based on his wide knowledge and experiences. At the same time, I do some research to get some suitable title for my FYP project. There are some titles has been chose and short-listed from my research and suggestion from several lecturers. I have been thinking to upgrade my Diploma’s project which titled RFID based attendance system.
