Method for creating a synthetic pulse on an actor during medical simulation

Medical training and simulation methods have made progress over the years, however, the progress made fails in comparison to other fields. New and improved electronic aids have seen huge improvements for both diagnosis and treatment, but little has been developed in the way of electronic training and simulation devices. The current invention proposes...

Label–free, high-throughput holographic screening and enumeration of tumor cells in blood

Technology SummaryCirculating tumor cells (CTCs) are cells that have entered the peripheral blood of cancer patients after having left primary or metastatic tumors. Identifying the presence and assessing the characteristics of these CTCs through liquid biopsies has shown great promise for improving cancer patient care by enabling early cancer detection.Current...

Ankle fusion nail - further development

Technology SummaryIn orthopedic surgery, nails are frequently used to fuse joints. In orthopedic ankle surgery, there is no nail currently available with the ability to fuse the ankle joint without also fusing the subtalar joint. This results in substantial arch pain for the patient as well as decreased mobility and impaired gait. This technology...

Always In Reach (AIR) Intubation Tray

In modern medicine, an intubation procedure is performed on patients who are unconscious or who cannot breath on their own. An intubation procedure places a tube into the airway of the patient to allow ventilation of the lungs. Whether performed in the Emergency Medicine Department or in a controlled operating room, intubation can carry a significant...

A No Suture Chest Tube

In Emergency and Trauma Medicine, chest tubes are common medical devices used to treat patients. Typically, chest tubes are used to treat pneumothorax, air around the lung, and hemothorax, blood or fluid around the lung, in a trauma situation; however, they also can be used to treat other spontaneous conditions such as cancer, COPD, or body habitus....

Toddler Mobility Device

For parents of children with disabilities, extremely expensive power chairs may be purchased for children above the age of five. These chairs are generally tall, bulky, and difficult to transport. But for parents of disabled children below the age of five, there are no options on the market for chairs that will allow the child freedom to move, or means...

Chemically patterned paper-microfluidic device (cPMD) for medical screening and environmental monitoring

This technology allows for diagnostics analysis of various biochemical structures including 2D and 3D networks via a chemical patterning technique without the use of expensive machinery, or the limitations of high temperatures. Additionally, this new method involves coating the paper to create localized hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions. The technique...

Ankle (tibio-talar) fusion nail

In orthopedic surgery, nails are frequently used to fuse joints. In orthopedic ankle surgery, there is no nail currently available with the ability to fuse the ankle joint without also fusing the subtalar joint. This results in substantial and permanent arch pain for the patient. This technology provides a new type of nail design that can fuse ankle...

Embryo Weight Estimation Based on Specific Gravity

This technology is an Assisted Reproduction Technology designed as a specific gravity system that estimates the weight of the embryos for determining the viability of embryos. It is a non-invasive technique that uses specific gravity as an indicator of weight and allows for the heaviest embryos to be selected for implantation. This approach is safe,...

Autonomous Human Motion Monitoring System using Wireless Body-worn Sensors, Network, and Computer-based Algorithms

This technology employs a waist-mounted sensor and algorithm that can accurately monitor gait and predict falls. The sensor uses a tri-axial accelerometer to classify gait events into stationary, sit-to-stand or stand-to-sit transitional, walking, running, jumping, and stand-to-kneel or kneel-to-stand transition. The eight tracked features include...
