During the COVID-19 pandemic, it became clear that we need to have a more accessible and democratic health system around the world. The inequality problem is even more evident in developing countries, where some urban centers have more than enough medical resources while most countryside doesn't even have laboratory analysis facilities,
PROBLEM: Current instruments for sorting cells are time-consuming, expensive, bulky, and most cells are recovered dead. The similarity of tumor cell clusters combined with the inability to separate live cells makes oncology a difficult area of research.
SOLUTION: Cyto R1 sorts and recovers live cells in less than 20 minutes, is 10X less expensive than flow cytometer counterparts,
This device was developed to reduce complications and deaths during intubation and enable medical providers around the world to afford the best technology. Intubation is the process of inserting a flexible plastic tube into the trachea to administer oxygen or anesthesia or support breathing due to severe injury or illness. This design provides a uniquely robust, feature-rich,
NGTF is a feeding appliances kit with a friendly feeding process, including a quick-release outer nasogastric tube, a feeding rack, nutrients and water in aluminum foil packaging, and a fluid extractor.
The aluminum foil packaging of NGTF can be quickly installed on the feeding rack for feeding,
Why not build a truly non-invasive blood glucose meter out of a short-wave infrared (SWIR) reflectance spectrometer, and use the changes in skin spectra it measures due to the cardiac pulse cycle to produce interference free blood spectra for analysis? Availability of a hand held version of this device eliminates painful blood samples, lancets,
Patients with Parkinson's disease or Essential Tremor commonly experience uncontrollable tremor in the hands. These symptoms range from bothersome to debilitating and their occurrence is frequent and unpredictable. Usually the patients are otherwise fully functional but their abilities to use their fingers in critical tasks, such as writing, typing, utensils or smart phone use, are greatly affected.
It is sad that the world is in an emergency due to coronavirus. I have a solution for sanitization & sterilization of viruses & other pathogens. Technology is to use microwave/X-Ray or ultrasonic to resonate lipids/proteins in viruses and pathogens envelope and rupture it. This technology can be used against all kinds of viruses and pathogens.
When emergency patients arrive at a hospital there may not be sufficient staff to transfer the patient from the Gurney to the examination table.
By a simple redesign of the tops of the Gurney and the examining table, the “One Handed Patient Transfer” device could handle all the patient movement with ease, and simplify the emergency intake procedure.
Problem:
Pediatric trauma represents a leading cause of children's mortality and disability worldwide, killing over one million children each year. Current education programs rely on expensive simulated courses. Therefore, they fail to train health providers on a large scale leaving inadequate training and the inability to provide the best care for injured children, increasing morbidity and mortality.
THE PROBLEM: Ventilator-dependent patients frequently experience accidental ventilator disconnect between the tracheostomy tube and the ventilator; a deadly problem known clinically as "pop-off". This accidental “pop-off” can occur multiple times per day, sometimes every hour for some patients.
