We have been working to innovate upon the current cardiac telemetry systems used in clinics for in-patient monitoring. Moving away from the traditional adhesive wet electrode and utilizing active capacitive sensors that do not require direct contact with the patient's skin. This system would then be integrated into the hospital gown with the processing and transmission unit creating an integrated garment that is capable of recording multiple leads of cardiac data.

The objective of this project was to design and build a robust electronic system that can be securely fitted onto a return-to-sport approved knee brace and provides patient data to monitor performance and potential risk of injury. A wearable microcontroller was connected to two inertial measurement units (IMU) to collect kinematic data in a sport-specific environment. From this data, in-depth biomechanical metrics can be monitored in real-time to provide insights into an individual’s performance return-to-play.

New Born Tech Inc. presents: A Neonatal Bi-Directional Mandibular Distractor. A novel medical device solution for infants with micrognathia.

Cervical spine injuries due to motorcycle accidents are an area of need for greater innovation. Bevor’s neck brace uses electronics to deploy an airbag safely around the neck of a motorcycle rider in the event of a crash, to minimize the chance of severe injury to the cervical spine. This method ensures that the user is not restricted by the airbag except during events where there is a chance of injury.

At Mara Medical, we strive to develop an innovative, adjustable abdominal retractor. Rectify, the improved abdominal retractor will minimize set up time and provide the appropriate organ and quadrant isolation.

The RHFM team has designed and developed a PRUJ device to be implanted near the elbow to correct radioulnar synostosis, radial head displacement, and/or Type III radial head fractures to give patients an improved range of motion and quality of life. Addressing the current niche need for an effective proximal radioulnar joint replacement, our FDA regulated, Class II medical device has been unique in its consideration of a ball and channel style of joint to allow for an increased range of motion than is offered by regular ball and socket joints. Throughout the duration of the project, our team has been asked to develop the device with the diligence (and documentation) required of a Class II medical device with the goal of complying with regulatory standards by proving both safety and efficacy.

GRIPP is an wireless, automatic, wearable glucagon delivery system for use in type I and II diabetic patients. The device communicates with a continuous glucose monitor to deliver glucagon when the user's blood sugar is low to prevent severe complications from hypoglycemia.

This is a brief introduction to the reusable breast implant delivery device by Biotas.

The Rectify team is developing an alternative method of alleviating constipation through non-invasive electrical stimulation called The Colon Cleanser. This device will non-invasively target the sacral region with stimulation administered by a set of transcutaneous electrodes.

Buddy is a device made by women, for women. We want to provide peace of mind through at-home breast screenings that are non-invasive and safe. By detecting abnormalities in breast tissue through impedance scanning, we hope to provide women with an accurate and easy method of self-breast screening.

SeptaNEX is dedicated to improving patient health by providing a septal wall closure device system that will successfully treat defects of various shapes and sizes.

Chameleon Diagnostic Gauze is a bio-indicative wound dressing for fast and swift detection of infection. Through the use of liposomal technology, Chameleon Diagnostic Gauze will help reduce the severity of the consequences that come from developed infections in high risk patients. Initial research was focused around surgical site infections and diabetic foot ulcer infections.

Forefront Therapeutic Systems (F.T.S.) has designed a minimally invasive vagal nerve stimulator to improve post-stroke recovery. The physical alpha prototype is a pulse generator strapped to the lower arm and coupled with pin electrodes that deliver percutaneous stimulation to the external ear.

Helping Hands within the More Foundation is a non-profit organization that provides 3-D printed, body movement controlled partial prosthetic hands for children. The project completed by 3-D Prosthetics was to update the device according to the patient needs that the current model was not satisfying. These needs included the ability to provide more degrees of freedom to the thumb, the ability to close the hand by extension, as well as flexion, and replace current joint method with a longer lasting solution.
