Aim:
We have developed a Hemoglobin-Electrophoresis Biochip (HemeChip) that can rapidly, easily and conclusively identify the hemoglobin type in blood to diagnose Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) in newborns.
Challenge:
About 3 million people worldwide suffer from SCD, mostly in Africa, India and the Middle East, with an estimated 100,000 affected in the US,
Left hemiplegia is paralysis of the left side of the body due to brain stroke. In brain stroke, brain cells die due to oxygen starvation. If this happens in the right side of the brain then the left side becomes dysfunctional. But since the left side brain is unaffected, the right side of body remains fully functional. Generally,
The challenge:
Even though there are many wheelchair designs existing today still the following needs are not met.
1. There is no specific design for a one armed person
2. Wheelchair that can folded and put into car,
Healthcare acquired infections (HAI) are on the rise in our healthcare facilities. Each year, 250,000 blood stream infections occur according to the CDC. This creates a significant expense in terms of both morbidity and financial costs. The IV MAID is a new and innovative device which solves several challenges in healthcare facilities for both clinicians and patients.
Using current imaging technology, get measurements of the cartilage space in the joint. Then with a 3 D printer, print the replacement cartilage our of ultrahigh molecular polyethylene (or similar wear resistant polymer). After printing the replacement cartilage, insert it in the joint and fuse to the bone with laser.
KneeStim intelligently uses neuromuscular electrical stimulation to contract quadriceps muscles in synchrony with patient movement, turning each joint loading instance into a muscle building repetition. This device is intended to provide improved, accelerated, cost-effective rehabilitation assistance to patients managing knee osteoarthritis or recovering from knee replacement surgery.
Quadriceps strength, or lack thereof,
This invention has to do with biophotonic materials that induce the mitochondrial electron transport chain to improve upon itself and actually prolong life. It is a system that once used can effectively reverse the aging process through the use of light and water.
Many microfluidic devices for plasma separation from human blood samples have attracted numerous researchers to develop for point-of-care medical health diagnosis in the future. However, most microfluidic methods required external mechanical driving sources such as a syringe pump and the tube connections between devices and their driving sources.
The following description is for the MDDS (Micro Drug Delivery System) and does not require an IV connection to the patient. This MDDS pill is swallowed whole and excreted in the excrement.
