BioMedical Devices (GY)

We aim to design and prototype orthotics and prosthetics for patients who need custom made devices to improve quality of life. Students develop and design orthotics and braces starting at a 3D printed level. Using available resources they aim to improve the function and comfort of the device with the goal of keeping the overall cost at a minimum. The students investigate 3D printed materials, electronics, padding materials and app designs during the planning and construction process. The overall goal is to design a fully functional Biomedical Device that has
a place in the Physical and Occupational Therapy Market that can serve a variety of patients that are in need.
