Injury resulting from high-impact forces, such as those experienced during vehicular collisions or sudden mechanical loading events, remains a significant contributor to morbidity and long-term disability. Existing protective solutions often lack sufficient adaptability or efficiency in reducing force transmission to the human body, creating a need for improved impact mitigation technologies. This project presents the…

Despite being the clinical standard and a primary means of intrapartum assessment, current fetal monitoring devices have extremely high false positive rates (up to 99% for fetal distress signs like fetal acidosis). This means clinicians are often reacting to signals that don’t reflect the baby’s true condition. This not only creates confusion but also causes…
