WISH Center Missions
WISH center members develop joint R&D projects with industry and offer networking opportunities between Georgia Tech researchers and industry. Below are the past and present projects we contributed to.
Devices for Vitals Monitoring in Ethiopian Hospitals
Launch: 2023
Supporting organization: TASH
Hospitals in Ethiopia are often underfunded, with nurses needed to share a few EKG monitors among 20+ patients, counting respiration rate by hand, and lacking pulse oximetry as a whole.
Biopatch for Improved Rat ALS Drug Efficiency
Launch: 2022
Supporting organization: NIH
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is one of the diseases that humanity has not yet conquered, characterized by the degeneration of motor neurons. To address this, a biopatch for monitoring the rat for pre-clinical test is developed.
Machine Perception Blood Test for Early Disease Detection
Launch: 2023
Supporting organization: NIH
In this project, a liquid biopsy technology is built to markedly increase the speed and to decrease the cost of diagnosis. The technology synergizes nanosensor array and artificial intelligence capabilities to rapidly inform clinical decisions from blood samples.
Smart Mouth Guard Systems for Athlete health monitoring
Launch: 2022
Supporting organization: GTRI
In this project, a smart mouthguard and soft chest patch will be developed for athletic monitoring. The unique nanomanufacturing methods will miniaturize the sensors and electronics of intelligent mouthguards and soft cardiac patches.
Adventitious Agents Monitoring System
Launch: 2022
Supporting organization: ARMI
In this project, we aim to create a thin-film flexible sensor array designed for real-time detection of in-process biomolecules, eliminating the need for manual sample collection or advanced tools.
Smart Biopatch for Outdoor Worker Health Monitoring
Launch: 2022
Supporting organization: NIH
Biopatch that can monitor various physiological biosignals of outdoor workers is developed. The collected biosignals will be analyzed to determine the worker’s condition with a multi-sensor, multi-task learning framework.
Microneedle Sweat Monitoring System
Launch: 2021
Supporting organization: NIH
In this project, our objective is to create a wearable device that stimulates localized, abundant sweat production using microneedles.
Microphysiological Systems
Launch: 2021
Supporting organization: NIH
This project aims to create in vitro models mimicking organ functions, focusing on fluid stress in lung diseases and its role in immune response dysregulation.
Neuroadaptive Kitchen Design for Aging Adults’ Independence
Launch: 2023
Supporting organization: Cognitive Empowerment Program (CEP)
In this project, our objective is to enhance kithcen accessibility for adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) using visual aids and VR.
Smart Electronic System for Blepharospasm Phenotyping
Launch: 2022
Supporting organization: NIH
In this project, a novel wearable device and machine learning algorithm that can provide a deeper understanding of the phenotypic heterogeneity of blepharospasm with truly objective measures has been developing.
Smart Device for Ventricle Pediatric Heart Monitoring
Launch: 2022
Supporting organization: Imlay Fund
In this project, a low-profile, wireless biopatch system that can monitor various physiological biosignals of pediatric interstage single ventricle heart defect patients in real-time is developed.
Smart Graft System for Dialysis patients
Launch: 2022
Supporting organization: NIH
In this project, an arteriovenous graft is integrated with a bioelectronic device to monitor the health of embedded grafts in dialysis patients.
