To address needs for safe gut microbiota transplants, I propose a device that encapsulates the transplant. It is safe to swallow, easy to remove, withstands motor pressures within the gut, and provides mechanisms for transplant within to thrive and compete with local infections.
Develop and commercialize innovative patented biomarker for diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases

We solve sheep farmers’ deepest problems by automating flock monitoring through biometric sensor and machine-learning technology.
Rapid detection of catheter-associated bloodstream infections
Artificial Discs have been making innovations to better be able to match the biomechanics of the natural discs they are replacing. Making one out of a compliant metal device instead of a viscoelastic polymer could be the next leap of innovation.
In order to solve an ongoing problem in neurovascular surgery, we developed the MultiFlex catheter: a variable stiffness endovascular catheter. The Multiflex catheter is able to alter its stiffness profile according to the needs of neurovascular surgeons during intervention.
HIVE makes it safer to take IV antibiotics at home. When patients miss their doses, their infections can become life-threatening. We are arming clinicians with a smart IV device that empowers them to objectively and continuously monitor the progress of their patients.
We regrow muscle to heal traumatic muscle loss injuries. Current treatments are ineffective. 60% of these injuries are left untreated, 30% require a muscle transplant, and 10% are amputated. In contrast, our product recovers 52% of original muscle strength in 4 weeks.
Battery-free dynamical systems for sensing and security
Developing virtual reality games that are used for both assessment and rehabilitation of patients with cognitive impairments.
Compass is a platform that streamlines patient intake, scheduling, & follow-up via SMS, allowing patients the benefits of asynchronous and automated scheduling that can happen faster than the existing, cumbersome process of calling or physically visiting a clinic.
