Zoma

1

Zoma is a nocturnal seizure monitoring and detection headband for use by children and adolescents, aimed at preventing Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP). SUDEP can be prevented if a caregiver is present to provide immediate first aid, and thus due to the unpredictable nature of nocturnal seizures, many caregivers fear leaving their child alone at night. Zoma aims at preventing SUDEP by alerting caregivers of possible seizure onset by leveraging EEG and deep learning technologies to detect abnormal brain activity indicative of a seizure.

Petalos

Flexible endoscopes are intricate surgical devices consisting of long, narrow, and heat-sensitive internal channels used for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The complex channel geometry makes them challenging to reprocess through manual cleaning and chemical washing, resulting in tedious reprocessing procedures leading to an increased chance of contamination. Petalos is a flexible endoscope with removable and disposable modules and an autoclavable controller body. While maintaining full functionality, Petalos removes the most tedious, time-consuming, and error-prone reprocessing steps and achieves the gold standard of sterilization through autoclaving.

ArtemisVR

3

Tetraplegia results in loss of mobility and feeling in all limbs, which reportedly leads to decreased quality of life. Virtual reality (VR) has the potential to open up therapies and entertainment for users; however, there is currently not a way for tetraplegics to control VR. ArtemisVR is a VR controller that can be completely operated using head movements, motion of the tongue, and breath; all of which are within the range of motion of a person with tetraplegia.

Our team is trying to provide gastroenterologists a method to visualize the contraction patterns of the colon. Contemporary methods are quite invasive and can cause discomfort, skewing colonic motility readings. Our team is designing a non-invasive way by using ultrasound and leveraging image processing and AI. The goal is to produce a spatiotemporal map of the colon, which would provide a practitioner with a visual map of how the colon is contracting along certain sections.

Left side neglect is a neurological condition that causes impaired attention to the left side of the body. Cycling is a common rehabilitation exercise and popular choice among individuals with neglect. Our team aims to address the challenges these individuals face when recreational cycling, specifically in recognizing upcoming hazards to avoid collisions. betaView offers a collision-warning system that uses vision-based object detection and tracking models to provide real-time warning to our users, thereby supporting their ability to navigate the road safely.
