Sit Sense is a “smart” recliner that knows what you need before you do and is designed to reduce pressure injury risk. Every year, 2.5 million hospital patients suffer from pressure injuries in the US, and 60,000 patients die. These injuries, commonly known as bedsores or pressure ulcers, are painful,
The iHeart fingertip oximeter, with a retail cost of $100, acquires Aortic PWV using a 30 second test. It previously required equipment costing over $20,000 and a trained technician to measure Aortic PWV.
Dronette is an innovative semi-autonomous drone system designed to deliver essential medicines and medical supplies to remote and hard-to-reach regions of Kazakhstan. The project addresses urgent logistical, ecological, and healthcare challenges, aiming to improve access to vital medical care while reducing environmental impact and ensuring early detection of environmental threats such as fires and pollution.
Hydrocephalus, a neurosurgical disorder characterized by an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the brain's ventricles, often requires timely surgical intervention through procedures such as Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy (ETV) and Ventricular Shunt Placement. These neurosurgical techniques demand a high level of precision and skill, given the intricacy of intracranial anatomy and the proximity of vital structures.
This is an emergency water packet that can provide chilled drinking water to soldiers, fire fighters, athletes, hikers, cyclists, campers, scouts, Red Cross, and commuters stuck in traffic.
The water packet uses evaporative cooling to chill the water before being opened. The hotter and dryer the climate, the more effective the cooling.
What is the the RDI Onyx and why is it worth your time? The RDI Onyx is a detector that will be used for quality assurance testing in proton therapy.
It is important because it acheives these goals: improving quality of life, preventing or reducing injuries, saving lives, saving time and money, improving productivity.
Some diabetics have great difficulty controlling there glucose levels. "Brittle Diabetics." Most doctor guidance is not active enough or detailed enough to provide control. (One dose fits all.) I developed a statistical process control algorithm that accurately predicts insulin doses based on past statistical analysis of responses to insulin doses vs glucose readings and the current glucose reading.
Transcutaneous magneto acoustic stimulation is the application of an ultrasonic beam from outside the skull impinging on brain structures inside the skull, where a transverse magnetic field is externally applied. By using charged ion movement in a magnetic field, stimulation by electronic impulse (due to the magnetic field) is 500x more effective than mechanical nerve stimulation alone.
Inspiration: The idea for this project was inspired by research conducted by several universities, which focused on tracking finger misalignments using physical systems. These systems, while effective, are typically large, rigid, and require customization for each user. This limits their flexibility and practicality, especially for widespread testing across different age groups, from children to adults.
