During the pandemic, we all felt that we needed a way to vent and lots of people developed feelings of depression. So we figured that we would make a website that allowed users to journal in a way that gave them custom prompts based on themes. They can later search for them based on theme
We decided to tackle the issue of excessive PPUs caused by the pandemic and went with an alternative to your usual lab glove. Using organic and biodegradable materials, we made a prototype. View the full poster here
The mass distribution of oral vaccines is not as effective as it could be. And as global warming continues to affect the Earth, we will only see an increase in diseases, making herd immunity harder to attain. The goal of the project was to develop an oral vaccine casing that could protect the vaccine component
Our challenge was addressing the lack of fun educational products that teach about illness and disability in children’s media. This is a problem because kids need to understand the basics about common medical conditions to help them accommodate their classmates and help them empathize with their friends. Existing educational media tends to be unengaging for
Our group was interested at how cells proliferate within different biomaterials, specifically a matrix/collagen solution compared to normal collagen. Full poster: TheProliferationProblem
Our challenge was to develop a predictive model to assess an individual’s potential risk of heart disease based on biometric data. Full poster: HeartDiseaseMachineLearning
Our group focused on the disabilities services at Chapman University and how they support and help their students with disabilities. We conducted interviews and surveys to learn more about how students with disabilities are represented at Chapman. We also learned about what ways and learning environments are best for students with disabilities. View the full
Test a cheaper alternative to dental implants that can be made using easily accessible materials like plastics. These abutments can be made with 3D-printed material to reduce cost and increase accessibility to low-income patients. View the full poster here
Superbugs, or microorganisms that have become resistant to antibiotic treatments, have developed in recent years due to the misuse of antibiotics (Tosh, 2022). The misuse of antibiotics most commonly refers to instances in which patients either use them inappropriately for minor infections or fail to complete their antibiotic regimens (Tosh, 2022). To combat this global
A problem we observed in the standard procedure for post-ankle injury recovery is that the lack of customizability slows the rehabilitation process and increases the chance of re-injury. Our project aims to utilize the material diversity and versatility of 3D printing and scanning to create an ankle brace that fits each patient’s foot perfectly. It
