This project aims to develop a low-cost, smartphone-adaptable ophthalmic imaging device that can be used to improve access and quality of eye care, particularly in emergency departments (i.e., triage contexts) and resource-limited settings (e.g., remote and/or rural clinics). Current tabletop ophthalmic imaging tools can be expensive and bulky, and thus not widely or easily available…

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide, affecting about 1 in 5 women after childbirth. It’s defined as a blood loss of 500 mL or more within 24 hours of vaginal delivery and 1000 mL or more after a cesarean. Despite its severity, PPH is often detected through visual estimation or…

Within the last hundred years, a considerable stall in fracture research at the growth plate has contributed to inadequacies in the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric orthopedic fractures, sometimes leading to lifelong pain, immobility, and deformities. This issue is the result of a lack of research devices to study and better understand growth plate fractures….

PharmAccount is developing an innovative module that integrates continuous medication counting into medication management systems like the BD Pyxis™ MedStation to address inefficiencies and vulnerabilities in hospital medication management. Hospitals face challenges in maintaining accurate medication inventory, preventing drug diversion, and reducing administrative burdens on nursing staff. The reliance on manual blind counts is time-consuming,…

 Biomarkers available in the vaginal canal can provide valuable and accurate information for reproductive health. Accurate monitoring can provide insights into fertility, cycle tracking, and infection detection. This development includes an intravaginal sensor that measures temperature and pH levels. Data would be available on a HIPAA complaint, encrypted app for patient and clinician use. Data…

As of 2024, breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States, with 313,510 new cases and 42,250 deaths in that year alone. Most patients are eventually treated with breast-conserving surgery (BCS). The current treatment paradigm in patients undergoing BCS involves at least three invasive procedures including (1) biopsy; (2) placement…

In response to the issues surrounding the accuracy of the Tempe Streetcar’s estimated time of arrival (ETA), this project seeks to enhance the streetcar’s reliability for Arizona State University students and faculty. The streetcar, which runs along ASU’s campus and Downtown Tempe, is critical for students, staff, and faculty who rely on it to reach…

The challenge addressed by this project is the lack of accessible, visual teaching tools for illustrating transformer concepts in educational environments. The objective is to develop two demonstration devices that translate abstract electromagnetic principles into observable, physical phenomena. It aims to teach core characteristics of transformers and power electronics to accrue interest in an underrepresented…

The HeadCount project aims to develop a robust and user-friendly system that can provide real-time estimates of the number of people in a given area. Our team developed a GUI capable of processing both pre-set and live images and video, and used a Raspberry Pi with a thermal sensor and regular camera sensor to help…

The Standalone Hybrid Audio Processing System is a device designed to provide musicians and sound engineers, both new and experienced with audio production, with a single platform containing a variety of effects for the user to manipulate incoming audio with. The system combines analog circuits with a digital signal processing controller to allow for a…
