During my time at Stony Brook, I have worked on several medical device design teams, where I typically focused on software and app development. Below are the projects I have worked on during my time as an undergraduate and graduate.
ROFLEX Exercise Tracker
The ROFLEX project designed a wearable wristband to record the motions of physical therapy patients while they performed their exercises. The app would then provide feedback to the patient, focusing on which exercises they performed incorrectly and how to improve. I was a software developer on the ROFLEX project, where I helped design the user interface for the application.
CICaidA Pulse Oximeter
The CICaidA project worked on a wearable pulse oximetry device paired with an app designed for use in nursing homes. The project focused on improving the accuracy of wrist-wearable pulse oximetry in order to be viable for medical use. In addition, the app was designed to continually receive measurements and display data from multiple users simultaneously, allowing medical staff to remotely monitor patients. I was one of two software team leads for this project, where I led development of the user interface, backend server, and device-app connection.
PaciMetrics Smart Pacifier
The PaciMetrics project designed a pacifier that recorded pressure measurements in real-time when used. This can be used to determine characteristics of a baby’s sucking ability and quantitatively identify non-nutritive sucking. I worked on developing the mobile device to receive, display, and analyze the pressure data.
Fall Prevention Device
My current research focuses on developing a fall prevention device for high-fall risk patients. We are currently in the early stages of product development, focusing on market research and clinician interviews to guide our development process.
