Hernia repair is one of the most common procedures worldwise, with over 20 million performed every year, close to 1 million alone in the united states. Current off-the-shelf heria meshes are limited by fixed sizes, variable pore structures, and inconsistent conformity, contributing to higher recurrence, discomfort, and complication rates. However, hospitals experience significant waste when…

ZnTech is a bioelectric, compression-ready textile sleeve designed to protect fragile, aging skin and lower the incidence of skin tears on the forearm and hand. The sleeve provides gentle, distributed mechanical support while delivering microcurrent through its embedded systems to support skin integrity and microcirculatory health during daily living skills. Intended users include older adults…

Our concept works to prevent image disturbances in pathology scans by making an automated design for coverslipping. The design will work to create reproducible quality slides through increased consistency via robotic activity. CND Life Sciences aids in the diagnosis of Parkinson’s through skin biopsy in order to successfully provide a diagnosis before clinical onset. Current…

Current solutions for transferring silicone from manufacturing containers into molds for medical-grade implantable devices and prosthetics are expensive, inefficient, and lack modularity for different batch sizes of silicone. Improving workflow through a modular transfer apparatus will allow technicians involved in the process to efficiently transfer silicone, allowing for higher output of medical devices or time…

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 a larger number of patients. While many devices on the market have addressed this concern, they are often expensive to purchase and implement. ORCA has developed a design…

In Phoenix temperatures can reach up to 125°F and heat stroke is a life-threatening emergency routinely faced by the local fire department. 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. While esophageal thermometers provide…

Eye-related concerns are increasingly prevalent in emergency departments, but ophthalmologists are often not available in such settings. A quick and effective method for communicating eye concerns would aid in triage and allow for faster treatment in emergency departments. TeleVision aims to improve ophthalmic diagnosis in emergency departments and resource-limited settings by developing a smartphone-compatible imaging…

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by progressive fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. A debilitating complication of SSc is calcinosis: the deposition of calcium hydroxyapatite in soft tissue. These deposits, which most commonly develop in the hands/fingers, can cause severe pain, ulceration, infection, and functional impairment, yet remain difficult to…

Radiation therapy is a non-invasive and highly versatile approach to combat tumor growth in cancer patients by utilizing high-energy X-ray beams targeted towards tumor tissues to inhibit growth. Radiation therapy is able to suppress tumor growth in almost all areas of the human body, making it a widely applicable treatment method. Medical linear accelerators (linacs)…
