Radial pulses are used in a variety of healthcare applications, including being used to calibrate wearable healthcare devices such as smart watches. As such, a system to replicate human pulses quickly and cost effectively is needed to calibrate these devices. This research project focuses on designing a solenoid system that can replicate a variety of […]
B68: Design and Testing of Artificial Skin to Simulate Human Skin Properties
Wearable devices offer promising avenues for health monitoring by potentially integrating heart rate patterns for diagnostic purposes. Watch-like devices are poised to achieve this by monitoring the pulse of the radial artery. Traditionally, this site has been assessed in Oriental medicine, where different pulse fluctuations signify various health conditions. The properties of the skin play […]
C68: A Retrospective Study to Assess an Automated Novel Approach for Navigating Catheter Movements
This general research area utilizes the fields of Biomedical Engineering and Computer Science to solve a real-world problem. Ventricular arrhythmias (VA) are abnormal heartbeats oftentimes associated with morbidity, mortality, and impaired quality of life. They can be treated using catheter ablation, where a tube is guided through one’s heart to destroy the small areas of […]
