Marking Period 2
Apparently, there are many people in which have gotten sick over the past couple of years. The hospital has many patients who need help all the time, and with the high rise in illnesses, there are not enough staff to assist in diagnosing different patients. Here, we are trying to prevent unnecessary hospital trips and high capacity of sick people being in one place.
So, how can we create a safe and efficient way to get patients in and out of the hospital? The Active Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Patch (ANIRP) is a wearable, affordable, and easy-to-use device designed to measure skin elasticity and stiffness using near-infrared (NIR) technology and a mechanical actuator. Using the ANIRP Patch, it can help quickly diagnose patients getting them the help they need and allow efficient services.
What you have just read was a pitch of our Capstone project, a very important presentation centralizing what we have learned from our track class to come up with a solution to fix a possibly plaguing worldwide problem. We did extremely well on including everything we need to do. We were able to work together to brainstorm on how to revolutionize disease detection, affecting the biomedical field.
Auditory Processing Disorder (APD), is a hearing problem where the brain struggles to interpret sounds, especially speech, despite having normal hearing. APD causes difficulty following conversations, understanding multi-step directions, distinguishing similar sounds, and can impact academics like reading and spelling. But, the purpose of educating people about Auditory Processing Disorder is to help others understand what it is, to recognize it’s challenges, and support anyone that has ADP so they can learn and communicate more effectively. Providing awareness towards (APD) and other related practices can significantly impact an individual's well-being by providing them with the knowledge and support they need to manage their challenges effectively.
Jordyn and I did well on confidently presenting the information. Thought the only things I hear we have to work on is to maintain a little bit more eye contact.
This is a PAD innovation slides presentation that explains the possibles of how to make a stent that can solve a common societal problem. Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) occurs when plaque buildup narrows arteries, reducing blood flow, most commonly in the legs. Current treatments (angioplasty, bare-metal stents, drug-eluting stents) have limitations like restenosis, limited flexibility, vessel injury, and inconsistent long-term patency. I liked how I was able to complete this entire presentation by myself. I also included vivid information that gives an introduction about the circulatory system and how it works.
For example, Aaron and Mackenzy's presentation was amazing for the most part. I admire the boldness in Mackenzy’s voice at the beginning. It shows that he was confident and enthusiastic enough to teach us something. I like how Aaron vaguely maintains an acceptable speed, allowing me to take in information more efficiently. The constraints along with the other pieces of information are formatted nicely. I am very convinced that both Aaron and Mackenzy know what they are talking about and I like it. However, I would only recommend not to read off the slides . . . . . too much. This way the presenters can sound more confident when they present. The audience would then believe that Aaron and Mackenzy know what they are talking about.
