The Urine Detection Team would like to thank our customer, Dr. Renne Madathil, for allowing us to be part of such an amazing project and for answering questions that allowed us to better understand the design and customer scenario. We would also like to thank our supervisor, Dr. Dean Johnson, for helping us understand the viability of our prototypes and design choices. Thank you to Shruti Aryal, our project liaison for guiding us through this project and gave us advice on several parts of our project, ensuring that we kept on track, and meeting with us weekly. Lastly, we would like to thank Drs. Seidman and Lerner as well as our fellow students in BME 296 for their guidance and advice.
