American children living in poverty are more than twice as likely to have untreated dental decay than others due to their inability to afford regular check ups. OralSnap aims to address this issue by detecting decay at its early stages. When the user captures images of their teeth, the app highlights areas of concern and refers them to nearby dentists. Users can also look at previous images to monitor changes in the decay. As such, it provides users with greater autonomy over their dental health.

Timely diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI) is imperative as the risk of mortality increases by 7.5% for every 30 minute delay in treatment. In low and middle-income countries (LMICs), up to 60% of MI patients do not receive the necessary treatment due to limited diagnostic tools. DiagnoseMI is a portable and inexpensive device designed for healthcare workers in LMICs that records a patient’s electrocardiogram. In 30 seconds, it detects whether a patient has suffered from a MI and presents results on a mobile app.

Music therapy is used to improve communication for children with autism. When performed virtually, it lacks a multisensory aspect, resulting in a decrease in engagement, and thus the efficacy of the treatment. Mamustick is a musical instrument used in remote music therapy sessions to allow children to deepen their engagement through multisensory stimuli, and thus improve their language delay. Mamustick is an attachment that transforms any rod-like household object into an immersive music therapy tool that can be used in collaboration with web conferencing services.

Our team has developed an engineering solution to promote positive social skill development in children (ages 5-7 years) diagnosed with Autism through a strategy used in Applied Behavioural Analysis, as validated by field experts, without negatively impacting the strategy’s integration in learning environments. This solution allows a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst, parent, or teacher, to employ positive reinforcement to the child through an app, to the child’s toy, while collecting key progress data on the child.
