Hospitalized adult inpatients and clinical staff are poorly served by current overbed tables, which are defined by their lack of maneuverability, ergonomic features and storage options. Clinical feedback gathered directly from Mayo Clinic Staff confirms this need with over 96% of staff reporting that the existing table models are difficult to move, compromising patient independence…

Jointelligence addresses the growth modulation surgery implant problem in collaboration with Phoenix Children’s Hospital and Dr. Mohan Bethlur, Dr. Subham Badhyal, and Benjamin Fife. Knocked and bowed knees are treated with titanium 8-plates fixed near the knee joint using two screws to restrict growth on one side of the femur, allowing the opposite side to…

Diabetic foot ulcers affect 15-25% of diabetic patients during their lifetime. In Grenada, where diabetes prevalence reaches 12-20% of adults, approximately 80% of patients present with advanced Wagner Grade 3-4 ulcers requiring surgical debridement. Current treatment costs of $50-150 per week are prohibitive against a gross national income of $9,800 per capita. While basic dressings…

There are over 1 million meniscus tears treated each year in the United States. Current interventions include sutures and partial/ total menisectomies, which can leave patients with impaired or limited shock absorbance in the knee, increasing pain levels and risk of osteoarthritis while reducing mobility. While a handful of artificial menisci are currently in development,…

Fall 2025 Low-Profile Seat Belt Add-On for Force Attenuation and Thoracic Injury Mitigation Biomedical Engineering Gabriel Ames, Riley Brandt, Jaiden Caballero, Ryne Spencer Concept description The Silicone/Foam composite cushion is a seatbelt accessory that improves occupant comfort and safety by redistributing load and reducing peak chest forces during impact. It consists of a soft, medical-grade…

Anesthesiologists at St. Joseph’s Hospital oversee up to twelve concurrent operating rooms, which increases cognitive load and creates the risk of delayed responses to acute physiological changes. Existing anesthesia machines such as the Apollo Drager Carescape D19KT provide accurate bedside monitoring but lack centralized multi patient visualization. This gap reduces situational awareness, forces frequent room…

The Syn-One skin biopsy test, developed by CND Life Sciences, is a novel diagnostic tool that provides pathological evidence of Parkinson’s disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, and related synucleinopathies. However, during a 20-month period, CND Life Sciences reported a high rate of unusable skin punch biopsy samples due to variability in technique, creating the need…

Access to diagnostic imaging is a major limitation in spaceflight and remote medical environments, where trained clinicians and cloud connectivity are unavailable. To address this critical risk, Celestia was developed as a tablet-based diagnostic imaging platform capable of autonomous, real-time AI-assisted interpretation without external computational resources. Our design occupies a unique market position by resolving…

Dental caries are developed due to bacterial plaque, and because current preventative treatments are unreliable, cavities advance into the dentin of the tooth—emphasizing the need for an adaptable, and non-invasive solution for early effective intervention especially for patients prone to cavities. This includes smokers, patients with chronic dental diseases, and patients in higher risk groups…

This project seeks to improve the safety and reliability of fetal and maternal monitoring during labor and delivery by optimizing how physiologic signals are processed and interpreted. Our team is developing a Hardware-Based Filtering & Optimization/Machine Learning (HBFO/ML) module, a plug-in accessory that is designed to be attached to already existing fetal/maternal monitors. It is…
