Improvements in fluidic device evaluation using particle image velocimetry
… within meso- and micro-scaled medically relevant devices using particle image velocimetry (PIV). Medical devices can be particularly challenging to validate due to small length scales and complex geometries, which can reduce measurement accuracy by introducing noise and reducing available signal. …

Investigating thermal dependence on monolithically-integrated photonic interconnects
… it comes with design challenges from device, architecture and system perspectives. High thermal sensitivity of the essential optical ring resonator imposes constraints on the applicability of optical links in the electro-optical systems. To investigate the thermal dynamics as well as …

A modular and stretchable electronic system for on-body health monitoring applications
Most of current wearable devices used for health monitoring (e.g. Fitbit) are composed of bulky rigid electronics that are not customizable and are too rigid for the skin. To overcome such limitations, a modular system based on thin and stretchable electronic modules was proposed. To link modules …

MODERNIZATION OF THE MOCK CIRCULATORY LOOP: ADVANCED PHYSICAL MODELING, HIGH PERFORMANCE HARDWARE, AND INCORPORATION OF ANATOMICAL MODELS
… in vitro assessment tool for left heart medical devices. The standard design employed by many research groups dates to the early 1970's, and lacks the acuity needed for the advanced device designs currently being explored. The necessity to update the architecture of this in vitro tool has become …

Development of a Colonoscopy Simulator for the Evaluation of Colonoscopy Devices
… and can even result in injury. Novel colonoscopy devices have to be evaluated to gain information about their performance. At the preclinical stage of the device development the evaluation is typically performed in laboratory experiments. For these experiments an artificial environment is required …

The evaluation of and comparative evidence for two types of interventional devices for foot-drop of central neurological origin
… gaps in the knowledge base: 1) limitations in device design, 2) limitations in device evaluation and 3) a lack of clear clinical guidance surrounding which of the two devices to use. Methods and Results PART 1 reports on the design and evaluation of an AFO alternative (dorsiflex sock) and an …
