+# Conclusion
 
-In answering the  question,
+This project demonstrates the research question
 "How do we simulate and visualise an existing biomonitoring technology
-for its core purpose",
-the prototype demonstrates
-that Arduino and Bluetooth can effectively simulate such interactions.
-Inspired by SYMBIO,
-the project reimagines mussel movements as a form of communication,
-green indicating drinkable water, red signaling otherwise.
-The system explored
-how mussel shell openness could represent a "vote" on water drinkability.
-The voting mechanism was useful
-in making environmental data more interpretable.
-While the biological accuracy is simplified,
-the core concept remains powerful,
-showcasing how biofeedback can be expressed through design.
+for its core purpose".
+We defined the core purpose
+of both the technology and our aim with the prototype
+through desk research.
+The core purpose of this technology is
+to gather data, interpret it, analyse it
+and then act upon the answer --
+and our prototype serves as aresearch tool for critical reflection.
+
+To answer the now defined research question, we did the following steps:
+Through sensor-based pseudomussels (ESP32s),
+bluetooth communication and code,
+we simulated mussel reaction and behavior to enviromental stimuli --
+this being light and touch, and not poisoned water, as in reality.
+The reactions (data) were collected, aligned into binary answers
+and analyzed as yes/no "votes".
+Depending on the outcome, the observer (ourselves) will be alerted
+through LED lights attached to a breadboard,
+signifying the water quality, based on which color light turns on:
+either green light (drinkable water)
+or red light (contamination).
+We believe through these steps in our prototype,
+that we succeed in simulating and visualizing
+the core purpose of the SYMBIO system's way
+of biomonitoring freshwatermussels.
