Projects
Over the years, I have been fortunate enough to be involved in many great projects in many different capacities. I have listed the ones I feel are deserving of recognition.
Cranium Cradle
For my Medical Product Ideation Graduate Course, my team was assigned to work with a Neurosurgeon who specialized in tumor removal. While shadowing a Gamma Knife case we noticed a clear need for a non-invasive Head Stabilization device, that prioritized patient comfort. Using the IDEO design process and prototyping methods we were able to create a prototype that was clinically effective.
Self Tightening Ski-Boot
For the Graduate-Level Prototyping Class in my program, my group designed a self-tightening ski boot that adjusts in response to the user's foot temperature. This allows for a snug fit that does not cut off circulation of the foot. I gained skills in Fusion and Arduino while gaining real experience creating and developing a product.
ER AI Triage Project
Project Lead
During my last year of Undergrad, I started and lead a project to create an AI powered triage tool for Emergency Rooms, Assesing patient acuity and stratifying them into a list. This project aims to reduce the ambiguity and wait times in the ER, improving efficiency and patient experience.
AI Cardiotoxicity Assessor
Team Member
My Senior Capstone Project was to create software that assessed the cardiotoxicity of cancer patients using echocardiograms. This project aimed to reduce the cost and hospital visits for chemotherapy patients, who need frequent CT scans for assessment. Through this project, I gained valuable skills in Python, and learned more about the image analysis power of AI.
Robotic Surgery Skill Assessor
Research Intern
This project aimed to create a Biomechanical Method of Assesment for Robotic Surgeons, in order to standardized their training cirriculum. To test, we recruited surgeons from a range of skill levels, and cross checked our method to existing methods, and found that ours gave more insight on their true skill level. My role was to help with the data gathering and analysis, as well as presenting this at our Undergraduate Research Symposium.
