althea is a therapeutic back brace that leverages Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound technology to accessibly and effectively treat chronic non-specific lower back pain through personalized intervention.
Team Members: Melina Daniilidis, Madeleine Drefke, Hian Leng Kek, Varun Trivedi
PADSSY (Peripheral Artery Disease Screening SYstem) is a two-part solution designed to increase early detection of Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) among asymptomatic patients in primary care settings by combining machine learning (PADSSY Flag) that identifies high-risk individuals using clinical data with a low-cost portable device (PADSSY Test) that automatically measures the Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) and pulse oxygen gradient to generate a PAD risk assessment.
Team Members: Fadel Batal, Maha Essaidi, Wangari Mbuthia, Risa Pollak
PaciSense is a smart pacifier that monitors saliva pH to detect early signs of Early Childhood Caries, the most common chronic disease in children, and alerts parents when their baby’s mouth is at risk for tooth decay, enabling earlier, preventive care.
Team members: Christopher Capiola, Yousef Elyoussef, Connor Feyen, Kaitlin Mrksich, Alyssa Sherman
EEMA (Electrohysterography Evaluation for Maternal Assessment) is a portable, wireless, low-cost fetal monitoring device that leverages uterine muscle contractions and machine learning to provide inclusive, safe and effective monitoring of labor and delivery for people of all body types.
Team Members: Victor Dubeaux, Jaewoo Kang, Shekinah-Glory Lawal, Saraswati Sridhar
PRIME (Perfusion Refill Indicator for Monitoring Efficiency) is a low-cost, fully automated device that uses pulse oximetry to take intermittent measurements of capillary refill time (CRT) reducing subjectivity and clinician burden to ultimately detect changes in patient status leading to sepsis.
Team Members: Majd Ayyad, Shriya Boyapati, McKenzie Davis, Sophie Gu, Sophie Klessel
Accolades: Second Place at the University of Minnesota Design of Medical Devices Competition
