For the 2020 school year, I was part of a three person group that worked on a senior design project that would have hopefully helped impact the medical world in a positive manor by helping combat an issue that many people across the world struggle with. Find out more information about the project below.

Our senior design project was called the Inner Bone Injection Apparatus (IBIA) and it was designed so that it could inject solutions directly into a person's bone. Many companies have been coming up with various solutions and treatments to help combat osteoporosis, one of the leading causes of death among older populations, with one of the biggest hurdles being actual injection of the treatment. The IBIA was intended to help make injections seamless as it would both drill into a person's inner bone in their upper thigh, inject the solution, and vacuum any extraneous materials along the way. Here is a design prototype of what the IBIA would look like.

These are some of the design sketches that I made for what the internals would look like for the IBIA before any type of shell was to be added. These sketches were made using the CAD software Solidworks.

I also helped with the programming of the IBIA's electronics. The main components that I helped assist consisted of a motor to power up the drill and a vacuum. Both of them ran using arduino electronic motors and boards.
Unfortunately because of the 2020 Covid-19 outbreak, progress on the IBIA had to come to a halt, but if you want a summation of our findings for the device, click the button below for the report.
