Past Projects
Kinocom 
(Kinetic communication for paraplegic patients)
The kinoCOM prototype has two ‘control rings’ that can be manipulated by the user to control a cursor. Each control ring contains an inertial measurement units (IMUs, or combined accelerometer-gyroscopes) that capture 6 degrees of freedom. The team created this HCI (human computer interface) device to help a stroke patient who is almost completely paralyzed and unable to speak. Kinocom won 1st Place at the IDEA Labs Midyear Design Review. Kinocom won a $2000 electronics kit to further improve the device from the MicroMedic Contest.
Medicrate
Physicians who want to share their knowledge are often stymied by privacy restrictions or technical limitations. Noteworthy surgeries, painstakingly recorded rarely make if off the camera, let alone onto a platform where others can learn from the experience. Medicrate is a service that allows physicians to store and share files securely. Users upload videos and other documents - all of which are stored on your institution's private servers. Users can restrict access to yourself or share the files with groups that you join or create. Medicrate also allows user to generate short quizzes based on your material making it an excellent tool to assess residents' and students' understanding of content. Medicrate gives users complete control over your information while preserving the highest standards of security and confidentiality.
Epi Squared - Wireless Implantable Devices
Another team tackled the problem of providing power to implantable devices (e.g. Pacemakers, to LVADs) non-invasively. They had a working prototype within 2 months, and a patent pending. They are now targetting their project towards recharging of implanted nerve stimulation devices used in epilepsy. The team were finalists in the Olin Cup business development competition
And Many more...
