Abstract: The purpose of this project is to reduce the burden and responsibilities of operating room (OR) staff by implementing a system to monitor the intraarterial line for bubbles, monitoring the volume of the saline bag, regulating pressure of the saline bag cuff, stopping the flow of saline if an error occurs and alerting the OR staff. This device will be useful for detecting catastrophic errors that could cause patients to have strokes, or possible death. This poster summarizes the work of the mechanical engineering team this semester.

Autoimmune Diseases: Mechanically Improving Hand Mobility and Quality of Life

Researcher: Abigail Wright

Faculty Mentor: Dr. Stephen Kuchnicki

Abstract:  Autoimmune diseases, such as Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis, attack all parts of the human body. Research into understanding hand anatomy, the crippling effects of autoimmune diseases, and determining materials were the first steps to developing a prototype. This device is supposed to help individuals with multiple hand deformities regain mobility to perform simple day-to-day tasks such as holding a glass without dropping it. Creating a functional device to improve hand mobility will also improve the quality of life for individuals, which is the ultimate goal.
