Designed by BME master's students, a new rehabilitative tool helps recovering stroke patients improve their walking ability.

In the department's Precision Care Medicine course, students work with clinical faculty at Johns Hopkins Medicine to learn how to use machine learning and mechanistic and statistical modeling to develop novel data-driven solutions for important health care problems in critical care, neurology, immunology, cardiovascular care, and more.

A team of undergrads has developed ShockSense, a device that analyzes real-time vitals to identify signs of shock and suggest treatment procedures—streamlining care while clinicians focus on delivering life-saving interventions.

Student innovation aims to improve dental implant success by catching complications early.

Designed by Johns Hopkins undergrads, new virtual reality game tests athletes for concussion and helps determine when they should resume play.

For his Design Day project, Clay Andrews, Engr ’17, created a non-surgical medical device to treat nasal obstruction. His innovative solution to a common problem went on to become a commercially available product that led to the creation of Hale, a company that sells that device as an over-the-counter breathing aid.

A student team in the Department of Biomedical Engineering’s Design Team course is creating smart glasses to help patients with nystagmus, a condition causing involuntary, repetitive eye movements.

The innovation is a set of electrodes designed to work without having to move or lift the nerve during evaluation, promising to reduce patient injury and inaccurate readings.
