Novel artificial neural network-based (ANN) approach for glycemic forecasting

Project ID: D2009-05 Background: Currently, glycemic control is obtained via point of care (POC) glucose monitoring and delivery of insulin based on a defined insulin infusion protocol. This discrete monitoring is disadvantageous as glucose concentrations are unknown when POC glucose values are not obtained. Neural network based models for real-time...

Micropatterned Silicone Oxygenating Dressing For Chronic Wounds

Project ID: D2018-09Background Wound healing requires oxygen, moisture, and pressure offloading. It is difficult to simultaneously obtain these conditions because oxygen has a low diffusivity in water. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is an approved treatment which uses a pressurized chamber to increase oxygen absorption. However, patients must be ambulatory...

Hybrid multifunctional posterior interspinous fusion device

Project ID: D2012-27 An interspinous stabilization device is a device that is adapted to be secured to two or more adjacent vertebrae of a spine in order to stabilize the relative positioning therebetween. An interspinous stabilization device can also be used to facilitate the placement of a bone-growth material, such as a bone graft, between such...

Novolntus Vaginal Speculum

Project ID: TECH-2024-17 Background Vaginal speculums are medical devices commonly used during gynecological examinations to visualize and access the cervix and vaginal canal. Traditionally, speculums have been constructed from metal, featuring two hinged blades that can be opened and closed by a handle mechanism. However, the cold metal and cranking...

Super Resolution Imaging with Modulation of Point Spread Function

Project ID: TECH2024-09 Background High image resolution is a desired outcome in wave-related disciplines such as ultrasound, acoustics, optics, and electromagnetics. However, the spatial resolution of an imaging system is fundamentally limited by the spatial frequency of the point spread function (PSF) of the system due to diffraction. There have...

Modular Hip Distractor

Project ID: TECH-2023-10 Background Hip arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique involving the insertion of specialized instruments through small incisions into the hip joint. This approach is commonly employed to address various hip-related issues including femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), labral tears, and the extraction of loose...

Combo Cup

Project ID: TECH-2023-28 Background Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) occurs when a pelvic organ slips from the normal position and down into the rectum or vagina. Patients can alleviate symptoms by inserting a pessary into the vagina to hold an organ in its normal position. This can be a great alternative to risky surgeries but is challenging or impossible...

Non-invasive Ocular Glucose Sensing

Project ID: D2010-12 Background Diabetes mellitus is a disease in which an individual has difficulty regulating their blood glucose levels, in which extremely low or high glucose concentrations can occur. Normal physiological blood glucose ranges are generally between 80-120 mg/dL; however, diabetics commonly have blood concentrations from 50-500...

Pressure Ulcer Boot

Project ID: D2022-32 Background Pressure ulcers or bedsores form when there is a loss of circulation due to prolonged pressure at a point, such as on the heel of the foot. This occurs in immobile patients, such as those confined to a bed or wheelchair. A common way to prevent pressure ulcers is to change the position of the patient with...

One Step Aortic Puncher

Project ID: D2022-31 Background Patients with coronary artery disease develop this disease often over a course of decades. Deposits high in cholesterol, commonly referred to as plaque, builds up in the coronary arteries causing inflammation. This disease tends not to be noticeable until significant blockage or a heart attack occurs. Coronary bypass...
