Abstract Many rural hospitals lack the infrastructure to support large stocks of pre-warmed intravenous (IV) fluids for invasive medical procedures, and as a result require an alternative solution to produce the needed stock in a short amount of time. ThermaMed Industries is committed to creating a solution for the rapid heating of IV fluid to…

Abstract The PulmonUs team is designing a refillable multi use dry powder inhaler that is biodegradable and also easier to use for patients across all ages. The current aerosol inhalers that are available on the market utilize hydrofluoroalkanes (HFAs) to deliver asthma medication to patients. Recent emerging studies have shown that the HFAs in a…

Abstract The accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning for orthopedic conditions rely heavily on the precise visualization of bone structures from medical imaging data. Current imaging modalities, such as CT and MRI scans, provide detailed cross-sectional images but require extensive manual interpretation. Our project, 3D Bone Reconstruction and Segmentation project addresses this gap by developing…

Abstract The ExecuWear Biometric Sleeve is a wearable device designed to address the health challenges of high-performing professionals and executives who spend extended periods in sedentary, high-stress environments, increasing their risk of cardiovascular complications. This device focuses on continuous monitoring of biometric data, including blood pressure, heart rate, and sedentary time, to provide real-time health…

Abstract Idiopathic subglottic stenosis (iSGS) is a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by abnormal wound healing around the subglottis and tracheal region. Excessive fibrosis causes ECM deposition in the area, leading to tissue stiffness and narrowing of the passage. There is no permanent solution and current treatment solutions are surgically removing the scar tissue with topical…

Abstract Description of Concept: This project aims to develop a smartphone attachment device capable of capturing high-quality ophthalmic images for analysis of the posterior and anterior eye segments. Clinical Need/Market: A 2023 WHO report finds that despite nearly 2.2 billion people worldwide having vision impairment—half of which cases were preventable—a large percentage of patients lack…

Abstract Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide, affecting approximately 1 in 5 women following childbirth. Primary postpartum hemorrhage is typically defined as a blood loss of 500 mL or more within the first 24 hours after vaginal delivery and a blood loss of 1000 ml or more within the first…

Abstract Currently, there are no current devices that induce a growth plate fracture or arrest with precision and accuracy. This causes a stall in the orthopedic research space and is a large gap in the medical technology market. Our concept design is a precision medical device designed for safe and effective bone fracture management, with…

Abstract PharmAccount is developing an innovative module that integrates continuous medication counting into the BD PyxisTM MedStation to address inefficiencies and vulnerabilities in hospital medication management. Hospitals globally face challenges in preventing drug diversion, maintaining accurate medication inventory, and reducing administrative burdens on nursing staff. The current reliance on manual blind counts for controlled substances…

Abstract 80% of U.S. women experience imbalance of their reproductive hormones often causing conditions such as endometriosis, PCOS, PID, chronic yeast infections and chronic bacterial vaginosis. 1 in 6 women globally also experience infertility and 1.3 million women in the U.S. are experiencing menopause annually. The aim of BioBalance is to advance female reproductive healthcare…
