2. Digital Triage Assistant

                  

- The Digital Triage Assistant (DTA) will allow for all five vital signs to be recorded for all patients entering the emergency department through a streamlined system.  The five vital signs: heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, blood pressure, temperature, and respiration rate, are important information to both triage and clinical assessments of patient conditions. With emergency department visits on the rise, there is a need to improve the efficiency of processes in the hospital in an effort to optimize the allocation of resources.
Team Members:  S. Husain (shusain@stevens.edu, C. Abt  (cabt@stevens.edu), P. Backeris  (pbackeri@stevens.edu), M. Bhargava (mbhargav@stevens.edu), L. Ennist , R. Garofalo (rgarofal@stevens.edu), V. Jakimaviciute (vjakimav@stevens.edu), G. Shevach (gshevach@stevens.edu)

3. Easy Keys

                  

Easy Keys is an automated system that is designed to allow anyone, regardless of experience, to tune a piano at the turn of a key.  It has been created to be the alternative to piano owners who require frequent tuning and are unwilling or able to spend thousands of dollars each year to hire tuning technicians.

6. Immunoclue - The Rapid Diagnostic Device is a point-of-care device used for the detection of a specific protein.  This new platform technology being developed by Team Immunoclue is currently tested specifically with C. trachomatis as a model system.  The device results in a color change induced magnetically.  The device housing this process was specifically designed to maximize magnetic force on the sample, minimize wait time, limit operator exposure, and provide a negative control sample for each test. 
Team Members: Steve DeFroda (sdefroda@stevens.edu), Zoe Folchman-Wagner (zfolchma@stevens.edu), Jen McGuire (jmcguire@stevens.edu), Pete Movilla (pmovilla@stevens.edu), Marc van de Rijn (mvanderi@stevens.edu)

7. Innovative Multi-Card Systems - Door locks will always be a fact of life, and while the basic principle in the same, the key used to open the door constantly evolves. The keyring which held keys together must now give way to the multicard, a device which can ?hold? multiple magnetic swipe cards. Magnetic Cards are becoming cheaper and more prevalent. We carry from 5-20 of them around everywhere we go. A more convenient way would be to store all the data the magnetic stripes on one innovative multicard system.

8. MediStrips

                  

Fast Acting Nanoscale Medications MediStrips is an original product concept developed on the premise of distributing pharmaceutical drugs by means of a quick dissolve strip. Based on the popular fresh breath strips, this range of products will deliver active pharmaceutical ingredients on a water soluble substrate with a dramatic increase in the bioavailability and release rate of the drug.

9. My Shuttle Service (http://tiger.ece.stevens-tech.edu/09-10/grp4/index.html) 

            

The My Shuttle Service (MSS) venture aims to design and implement a system which would eradicate many common complaints, delays, lack of arrival estimates, inability to see when the service will arrive or where the shuttle is currently. This current system being developed for Stevens Residence Life consists of an on-dash monitor, a netbook, 3G technology, server space and a user friendly website.  This way the Stevens shuttle and its driver will reduce miscommunication, delay and liability issues.

10. Online Car Diagnostic Tool - There is no easy to use, single source online car diagnostic tool for the average person to consult when their vehicle is having problems. The proposed service that will be offered is a single source online automotive diagnostic assistant. It will be similar WebMD®?s symptomchecker in concept. It can be thought of as WebMD for cars.
Team Members: Alessandro Spinelli (aspinel1@stevens.edu)

11. Team Sleep Hapnea

                  

Our product is a sleep apnea mask paired with a medical grade adhesive that seals itself to the face preventing air leakage from standard CPAP therapy in patients diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea.  The advantage of our mask can be seen in its comfort.  The adhesive is gentle on the skin, yet still holds the mask in place despite the constant flowing air pressure coming from the CPAP machine.

12. VersaStair - 

                  

The versatility of VersaStair is in response to the need by physical therapy patients to practice on different environments encountered daily, in an all encompassing stair system so as to save cost and space. The design of VersaStair is purely mechanical, relying on linkages and pins to move the steps simultaneously up and down and to convert it into a ramp. VersaStair focuses on altering the stair height, railing height, surface material and railing width as well as incorporating a ramp.
