Engineering Assistive Technologies for Disabilities: E-Trike, Nasal Spray Assist, Seizure Detection System, AFO Accelerometer
- Program: Mechanical Engineering
- Course: Other
Project Description:
The Volunteers for Medical Engineering is a student organization affiliated with The IMAGE Center of Maryland, a non-profit organization dedicated to designing and testing assistive aids/devices for community members with disabilities within the greater Baltimore area. This semester, members worked towards assembling an adapted electric trike with trunk support, an instrumentation device with an accelerometer for ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs), a low-cost nasal spray assist, and a seizure detection system.
