Intravenous (IV) catheters are critical for delivering medications directly into the bloodstream, but they pose a significant risk of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs), which can lead to severe complications, prolonged hospital stays, and increased healthcare costs. With the IV catheter market projected to grow from USD 8.6 billion in 2022 to USD 17.8 billion by…

Epilepsy diagnosis often relies on manual interpretation of EEG data, a process that is time-consuming, prone to error, and difficult to scale. Our project addresses this by developing a machine learning model capable of detecting epileptic events in EEG signals with accuracy and speed. We trained the model using a combination of internally collected EEG…

Current breast lesion localization methods, such as wire and radioactive seed placements, present several challenges—including patient discomfort, logistical complexity, and procedural risks. These invasive techniques often require pre-operative scheduling constraints, multiple clinic visits, and increased anxiety for patients. To address these limitations, our team has developed SONAR, a non-invasive breast lesion localization solution designed to…

The Anti-Spasticity Soft Robotic Elbow Brace is designed to treat spasticity in patients in stroke rehabilitation therapy. It delivers real-time muscle EMG data to occupational therapists while straightening the forearm muscles through a Bowden Cable System. Spasticity, characterized by muscle stiffness and involuntary contractions, presents a significant barrier to recovery for stroke patients, affecting both…

Precision Phantoms addresses the gap in medical device tuning and calibration by offering biomimetic phantoms made from solid gels with varying concentrations of electrical property modifiers as the foundational material that simulates the electrical properties of human tissues. These phantoms aid in accurate tuning and calibration of energy-based medical devices for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes….

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…
