MRIs are a necessary but often anxiety provoking medical procedure. Particularly with pediatric patients, fear is often a barrier to collecting quality MRI data. 49% of pediatric MRIs require sedation and up to 30% of imaging data sets are deemed unusable due to head movement (Power. et al., 2014).
The COVID-19 pandemic situation has called for an urgent need for the development of low cost respiratory ventilators across the globe. Such ventilators must include functionalities to cater to the patients experiencing severe respiratory illnesses, such as ARDS, where lung compliance and patient breathing cycles are dynamic,
It’s known that the current Coronavirus crisis of the world has united us into fighting same battle irrespective of our basic categorization like ethnicity, gender, religion, sexuality and disability. Even if we are facing incredibly hard challenge for survival,
The proposed super-resolution multiplexed line scan microscopy system realizes photon reassignment (PRA) microscopy technique for imaging fluorophore-labeled specimens. Unlike existing PRA techniques with a restricted two-fold resolution enhancement, the present system surpasses diffraction Abbe limit by a factor m=〖(σ_D/σ_E)〗^2+1>
Diabetes and peripheral arterial disease are two prevalent chronic medical conditions afflicting the global population. Lower extremity disease secondary to diabetic microvascular and peripheral vascular disease often result in transmetatarsal foot amputation (TMA). Management after TMA requires extensive rehabilitation often with the aid of prosthetics.

Tinnitus is described as the perception of sound in the absence of real acoustic stimulation. Tinnitus may be perceived in one or both ears. Despite various theories, the cause is not fully understood. According to the American Tinnitus Association, over 45 million Americans struggle with tinnitus,
PHAGE stands for the Personalized Health Academy of Guided Education. By providing a mapped patient journey (awareness, education, access, options, treatments, caregiving, followup, and outcomes) any user can step in to get guided support and become autodidacts to achieve health obtainable health outcomes.
I propose developing a miniature electronic device that measures temperature, chest (lung and heart) movements, and oxygen saturation. This device would be placed on the chest of the monitored person.
The monitor is to be equipped with motion sensors (3D accelerometer, 3D gyroscope and 3D magnetometer,
COVID-19 is the world’s highest priority in 2020. A key tool in managing this pandemic is determining who is infected, allowing those to self-quarantine or seek medical help, for the good of themselves, their loved ones, and the community at large, pending a vaccine.
