3. Project Overview Develop a test stand for the Lap-Band device that can:  Measure force/pressure applied to stomach.  Measure/control amount of saline solution in device.  Collect data

4. Key Challenges Identifying a material to mimic the physical properties of the upper stomach. Measuring the force/pressure applied to stomach by Lap-Band Device. Finding a way to accurately meter amount of saline solution in Lap-Band Device. Integrate components into test stand and obtain test data correlating saline volume to force/pressure on stomach.
