Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is the buildup of plaque in a patient’s peripheral arteries namely the legs and feet. PAD currently affects more than 10 million Americans and is an underserved disease as most patients are asymptomatic and there is no outstanding cure. The best available treatment for PAD is to detect it early, as…

The quantification of surgical skills is critically important for assessing the effectiveness of surgical training and optimizing the performances of skilled surgeons. Hand motion tracking in simulated surgery scenarios is emerging as a promising tool to extract motion features to quantify surgical skill. As traditional motion tracking systems require wearing physical markers which can restrict…

The engineering team at AVACE™ Biomedics has developed a novel medical device concept that would assist in verifying bone segment placement and realignment—intraoperatively—during a bone deformity correction. The concept is centered around a circular bubble or spirit level designed to attach and detach to the orthopedic surgical pins that are typically placed on the bone…

Our goal is to simulate a green-enriched white light at a wavelength between 520-540 nm that can alleviate light discomfort in patients experiencing photophobia. Photophobia refers to severe sensitivity to light.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are medications used for managing blood sugar levels in Type 2 diabetes. However, these treatments often cause unwanted side effects like nausea and stomach discomfort, have unpredictable side effects in different individuals, and require injections, making them often a challenge for patients to adhere to. Our flagship product addresses these…

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) affects about 2–4% of kids between 10 and 18. If not treated early, it can lead to serious health problems. Bracing is a common way to stop the curve from getting worse, but many kids don’t wear their brace as much as they should. It’s usually because it’s uncomfortable, hard to…

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 increase…

The PulmonUs team designed ReLung, a refillable dry powder inhaler that is biodegradable and also easier to use for patients. 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 single asthma inhaler emits as much carbon…

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, the 3D Bone Reconstruction and Segmentation project, addresses this gap by developing…

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, specifically blood pressure as well asheart rate and sedentary time, to provide real-time…
