Intravenous therapy pumps, known as IV pumps, are used by professionals heavily in the medical industry due to their ability to provide specified amounts of fluids to patients. The IV pumps must be transferred around the hospital from the patient's b ... ed to various locations. Nurses hold the heavy IV pump up while unscrewing the current clamps, often with one hand. The current clamps used to hold the IV pumps on IV stands are C-clamps. This process is cumbersome and in need of remediation. Our objective is to find a way to simplify the transfer of the IV pump to and from the IV stand so that nurses and health care professionals do not have to struggle with this task during patient transfer.

Team 4 is sponsored by Dr. Dylan Cooper, IU School of Medicine, Brian Overshiner B.S., R.T.(T.), and Tim Nisi B.A, IU Health's 3D Lab Innovation. The project consisted of finding a solution to train rising medical professionals on how to intubate wit ... hout the constant assistance of a trained medical professional, meaning that a trainee can learn the procedure without a trainer looking over their shoulder to see how the procedure is being done. Team 4 worked on designing a laryngoscope that provided immediate feedback to the user while performing the intubation process on a mannequin. Read more

In coordination with the project sponsor, Roman Natoli, MD, PhD, the S.A.M.W.I.S.E. G.A.M.G.E.E. system was developed to assist in sacroiliac (SI) joint fixation hardware removal. SI joint fixation hardware is a screw and washer system that aids in h ... ealing posterior pelvic ring factures and is often a permanent solution for patients facing injury. However, when removal of this hardware is deemed necessary by an orthopedic doctor, many surgeons are faced with a washer that resists explanation. The S.A.M.W.I.S.E. G.A.M.G.E.E. surgical system keeps patients and surgeons in mind to address this pain point. Read more

EKG's are a useful diagnostic tool to detect defects and conditions that pediatric cardiology patients may have. Traditional EKG techniques are slow, costly, and uncomfortable for the patient. The slowness bogs down office visits and consumes valuabl ... e time, the costliness limits application, and discomfort to the patient may result in inaccurate readings. The purpose of the pediatric handheld heart rhythm monitor is to provide a fast, cheap, and engaging EKG system that caters to pediatric patients without degrading the significance of data recorded.

A way for tissue engineering researchers to have a rapidly prototyped, biocompatible, and autoclavable system to manually control the direction of fluid flow and replace fluid aseptically from tubing in a bioreactor. ​

In partnership with our sponsor Jason C. Watters, Eskenazi Health/IU Health, our team worked to create a device that would prevent the chance of dislocation following a total hip arthroplasty. The goal after a total hip arthroplasty is to improve joi ... nt mobility and restore/improve a patients ability to preform function activities that they encounter in their day to day lives. The chance of dislocation after a hip replacement greatly hinders that hope of restoring the functional way of life we live on the day to day basis. Thus, our team created a two component containment capsule to help prevent that chance of dislocation so that patients can go on living their lives. Read more
