Group III: Biomedical Engineering

Project Description: The project is to create a reliable device that helps its users take their at-home medications as prescribed. The product ensures the correct dosage, while having a reminder mechanism built in (audio and visual alerts) so that our users can take the correct dose of medication when they are supposed to. The device will also incorporate a safety mechanism where the pill dispenser will be locked.

Project Description: This project is being developed to better track a stroke patient's ability to recover movement in their hand. This will be accomplished through the design of a wearable device that tracks the intricate movements of the wrist, hand, and fingers without impeding on everyday activities or sensations.

Project Description: An efficient and low-cost rape kit testing procedure to detect the three most commonly found biologics (semen, saliva, & blood) in rape kits and eliminate the current rape kit backlog in the U.S.. The testing strip uses ELISA technology to detect these biologics in a matter of minutes and to condense 3 separate testing procedures into one.

Project Description: The solution is a standardized testing protocol which includes a variety of tests that can be applied as needed based on the purpose and usage of a 3D printed assistive device. The tests will determine the safety and effectiveness of the devices. This solution will provide eNable a method to determine if the devices they provide are safe and effective enough for recipients to use.

Project Description: The project is to develop and prototype a smartphone-based microscope that will assist in the evaluation of various biological samples in low-resource settings. Specific aims of this project are a modular design that enables the analysis of fluorescent samples at different magnifications and excitation and emission wavelengths, and an open-source and cost-effective design that facilitates access to fluorescence microscopy. The project requires 3D printing, design of optical system (light sources, filters, lenses), and image acquisition.
