Our concept works to prevent image disturbances in pathology scans by automating the Coverslipping process. The design will reproduce the slide preparation process using robotic automation, applying the appropriate PBS solution and a coverslip. CND Life Sciences aids in the diagnosis of Parkinson’s through skin biopsy to successfully provide a diagnosis before clinical onset. Current…

Silicone transfer solutions currently on the market are expensive, lack the adaptability to work with different batches or kinds of silicone, or require manual labor that ultimately produces waste that drives up the price of medical-grade silicone devices. Transferring silicone remains an arduous task, but it is required for many businesses, whether it is a…

Medical documentation is vital in the healthcare setting; however, completing this documentation is a time-consuming process that prevents medical professionals from focusing on other tasks and assisting patients. ORAI Solutions has developed the operating room charting assistant (ORCA), which automatically charts surgical data, utilizing voice data during surgery, allowing medical staff to reduce time spent…

Extremely high temperatures in Phoenix lead to a proportionally larger amount of heatstroke cases. EMS staff must treat patients in mobile ice baths, requiring quick and accurate core temperature readings. Current thermometers lack the accuracy, speed, and temperature ranges necessary for early intervention. More accurate esophageal thermometers are difficult to position during field airway management,…

Eye-related complaints are increasingly prevalent in emergency departments, where access to ophthalmologists is often limited. This gap can delay diagnosis and treatment, particularly for conditions requiring timely evaluation. A rapid, accessible method for capturing and sharing diagnostic-quality eye images would improve triage efficiency and support remote clinical decision-making in both hospital and resource-limited settings. TeleVision…

Calcinosis, a debilitating complication of systemic sclerosis (SSc), affects up to 40% of patients and is typically identified only after symptom onset, when tissue damage and pain have already progressed. Current diagnostic workflows rely on reactive, high-cost imaging modalities such as MRI or CT, creating barriers to early detection and limiting routine screening in outpatient…

Each year, millions of patients undergo radiation treatment utilizing medical linear accelerators (linacs) due to their noninvasiveness and submillimeter precision. Although linacs offer innovative and advanced treatment plans, some mechanical QA procedures remain subjective due to human error. One of these being the verification of the optical distance indicator and vertical offset between the linac…

Affecting approximately 3 million people in the United States, glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness that manifests due to elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) damaging the optic nerve. Early detection of glaucomatous ocular environments allows for improved prognosis of the disease in an effort to reduce the rate at which symptoms become prevalent. Since glaucoma…

Major traumatic injuries to lower limbs require tourniquet intervention in nearly 90% of cases. Overtightening and improper application result in about 23% of patients experiencing long term nerve and tissue damage. These complications significantly lower the quality of life of the patient and can be a future roadblock to rehabilitation and prosthetic implementation. The Smart…

Effective clinical communication is central to patient outcomes, yet nearly 50% of medical malpractice claims cite communication failures as a contributing factor. Current training relies on expensive, unscalable actor-based simulations that are cost-prohibitive. There is a critical need for an automated, data-driven coaching tool that provides objective, ongoing feedback on real patient interactions to reduce…
