WVII<\/a> (Channel 7) and WABI<\/a> (Channel 5) reported on senior capstone projects created by biomedical engineering students at the 91±¬ΑΟ. The students showed off their projects ahead of the 2018 91±¬ΑΟ Student Symposium. One group worked with mechanical engineering technology students to develop a soft, wearable robotic system to assist older adults or others who have impaired arm movement. \u201cThere aren\u2019t currently a lot of options of how to rehabilitate a person\u2019s arms, so we hope that our cheap, easy-to-use device will help out the aging population,\u201d biomedical engineering student Rachel Detwiler told WABI. Gregory Viola, a mechanical engineering technology student, said he hopes the tool will help older residents lead more independent lives. Another group created a high-fidelity simulation vest that can be worn by actors in a medical training scenario. Using state-of-the art approaches, such as flat, embroidered speakers, the vest can create realistic abnormal heart and lung sounds that can mimic conditions including pneumonia and heart valve abnormalities. \u201cThis gives a real interaction with the patient which makes it better for them because they\u2019ll be able to actually have that hands-on experience and actually have bedside manner and be able to better treat the patient and not just a manikin,\u201d student Jennie Daley said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
