A thermochromic fiber has been developed that can be woven into clothing by an Australian research and development company and it's available for immediate production. The fiber composition can be fine-tuned to cover a narrow band of temperature variations which translates the minute temperature differences of anything it touches such as skin.
The UroCycler Automatic Bladder Management System serves indwelling catheterized patients as a magnetic prosthetic sphincter system which allows their bladder to function in a normal cyclic manner. This is important because, without the UroCycler, more than 99,000 American children and adults die each year from fatal catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) .
The Problem:
The current catheterization procedure for a Mitrofanoff urostomy is to use a catheter and a syringe, emptying the bladder one syringeful at a time, uncoupling, emptying into a bowl, recoupling and drawing the next syringeful. The biggest risk is spilling urine next to the patient, likely onto a bed.
A method based on chemical engineering science has been developed to an extent to aid providers and patients to monitor and control disease using Smart Phones. This proprietary method has been developed by myself and tested. It works very well in a select application developed so far.
WHY DOES VIBETECH EXIST?
VibeTech would like to help those individuals who are living with impaired mobility by giving them a fighting chance at restoring lost strength and function. For too long, it has been generally accepted that age-related decline is an inevitable process that cannot be slowed.
Wound care globally is a $20B industry with advanced wound care at $7B and a forecasted growth of 5% annually, according to a 2014 report by Global Industry Analysts Inc. Growth is primarily driven by diabetic ulcers, leg vein and pressure ulcers, burns and an aging population 6.5M people in the US alone,
INTENTION OF PROJECT
It is an idea which I thought of at the hospital by seeing one person, he had good speech by birth, but due to an accident he had lost his speaking capabilities. In that moment I got an idea to build a device that gives an artificial voice with their own knowledge of words they thought.
W.A.N.D (Wound Analysis Device) is capable of analyzing wounds using Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging Technique (LSCI). This device consists of 14 lasers of different wavelengths viz,650,785,850,980 nm. These lasers illuminates the region of interest (wound) sequentially and the camera captures the images. From the acquired images,
WHEELED WALKER
• What problem does your design idea solve?
I'm a seventy four year old veteran. I use a walking cane. I see a lot of vets that use a walking device and I ask them why they need it. Most, myself included, complain about joint pain, the knees the hips the lower back and the shoulders,
This device is for the transmission of energy to the electrical system of the body via wireless inductive coupling. It is designed to serve in several capacities:
1. A source of stable amplitude on a particular vector to neuronal tissues of the body without surgical invasion.
