Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a critical tool in the early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer. However, traditional breast coils can be rigid, uncomfortable, and not optimized for patient diversity in body types and anatomy. This project aims to develop a flexible and patient-friendly MRI coil blanket specifically designed for breast imaging. The proposed…

Craniotomies require precise bone drilling to safely access the brain while minimizing risks to neural tissue and surrounding structures. Conventional neurosurgical drills often lack real-time feedback and advanced control systems, increasing the risk of thermal damage and accidental plunging. To address these limitations, our team is developing a neurosurgical drill designed to enhance precision, safety,…

Rigid spinal implants are commonly used to treat pediatric deformities, but are poorly suited to ongoing growth, resulting in asymmetric bone development and poor tissue integration. A clinical need exists for orthopedic implants that correct deformities while accommodating growth without repeat intervention. The BioSpring™ addresses this need with a compact, biocompatible spring embedded in a…

A post-anoxic coma takes place after a person suffers from cardiac arrest and does not receive enough oxygen to the brain. Patients may regain all cognitive function, while others never recover. Once these patients are in the ICU, there are no current medical devices to accurately predict whether or not they will have a neurological…

Pressurized Wound Irrigation from PureStream MedTech aims to enhance wound-cleaning procedures in the emergency rooms (ERs) by providing a fast, efficient, and reliable innovative method. Infections are a common complication in emergency rooms that can lead to further complications, ultimately leading to elongated treatment, extended hospital stays, and higher patient costs. Traditional irrigation tools used…

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is the buildup of plaque in a patient’s peripheral arteries namely the legs and feet. PAD currently affects more than 10 million Americans and is an underserved disease as most patients are asymptomatic and there is no outstanding cure. The best available treatment for PAD is to detect it early, as…

The quantification of surgical skills is critically important for assessing the effectiveness of surgical training and optimizing the performances of skilled surgeons. Hand motion tracking in simulated surgery scenarios is emerging as a promising tool to extract motion features to quantify surgical skill. As traditional motion tracking systems require wearing physical markers which can restrict…

The engineering team at AVACE™ Biomedics has developed a novel medical device concept that would assist in verifying bone segment placement and realignment—intraoperatively—during a bone deformity correction. The concept is centered around a circular bubble or spirit level designed to attach and detach to the orthopedic surgical pins that are typically placed on the bone…

Our team will create a power solution for a hypothetical rover exploring the surface of the asteroid named Psyche. There are calculated and known surface and environmental conditions that are available to the team to use in their calculations for a power solution.

This project models and designs a photovoltaic and battery system to support rover mobility on the surface of asteroid (16) Psyche. Using environmental data and system simulations, the team evaluated various power configurations and identified a feasible solution that avoids energy deficits. The final design supports consistent low-speed rover movement and offers a feasible foundation…
