NEONATAL BRAIN IMAGING SYSTEM Biomedical Engineering Department and School of Medicine
DESIGN BRIEF Design an approachable neonatal imaging device that can bypass the standard logistics of a hospital and bring the required equipment to the infant in need.
A biomedical engineering research team at Wayne State University, led by Dr. Mohammad Avanaki of the Optical and Photoacoustic Imaging Research and Analysis Laboratory, is developing a smallfootprint brain scanner to allow for better imaging of infant brain development and to perform neonatal imaging within NICU wards.
PROPOSAL Incorporate the open design of current incubators and implement that portability with the brain scanning technology developed within the Wayne State University Biomedical Engineering Department.
DESIGN OPPORTUNITIES - A device which can be brought to the infant in need. - A device that is small enough to allow for multiple units within the same room. - A product which limits abrupt infant movement. - A device which can be attached to current incubators or be an all-in-one unit.
RESEARCH Premature newborns with health complications are in a fragile state while still in the very early stages of neonatal development. It is believed that minimizing movement while performing necessary tests can deter from certain health risks. Some of these health risks can me minimized through medical equipment which can be brought directly to the newborn, instead of the
newborn needing to be moved around the hospital for testing. New and better technology can also replace existing devices in the room with the newborn. Minimizing devices, complexity, and abrupt movement of the baby can improve the experience for the baby and the staff, and improve chances of survival.
LAB EXPERIMENT RESEARCH Observed the working experiments to gain background understanding of the experiment itself. Received schematics and documented part numbers for reference material.
Sheep Head Testing
Liquid Scanning Concept
SCIENCE/TECHNOLOGY VISUALIZATION Created accurate lab experiment representations to be used in medical publications and academic presentations to secure additional project funding.

Large Laser Experiment
Initial Proposal
Revision 1
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT The evolution of the neonatal machine was developed entirely within 3D programs such as Blender and Autodesk's Fusion 360. Working in a digital environment allowed for rapid ideation while working through design challenges with the engineering team.
Revision 2
Revision 3
FINAL DESIGN The current iteration of the neonatal imaging device has a purpose of being visually approachable to the parents and functional access for the medical staff. The small footprint of the neonatal device is able to be located within any room of the hospital. This benefit allows the machine to placed within a low lit room and even in the room of the mother.
1
HEAD APPARATUS A conductive gel will fill the interior walls of the apparatus and expand a silicon membrane (1) around the infants head for added support during testing. The main body of the apparatus rotates on guides (2) to provide the optimal testing angle.
2
Modular components are stored within the lower section of the body.
Medical staff are able to manipulate the laser from outside of the machine. Scanner is able to be powered by a standard wall outlet for convenience.
DDOT BRIEF: SAFETY BAR HANGER Create a product which improves the ride experience for all riders. This product should make an attempt to incorporate existing products already being used within the bus.
DDOT BUS STOP OBSERVATION 2 bus stops, Cass in front of State Hall and Warren in front of the Wayne State University Welcome Center, were observed during rush hour. The vast majority of riders carried some form of a personal belonging such as: purse, backpack or a plastic grocery bag. Each rider would place their personal belongings on either their lap, floor or potentially on a vacant seat.

FINAL DESIGN This design builds off of a 2 part bracket that is already being used on a DDOT bus. The new design replaces one-half of the bracket. This design change removes all personal items that were previously placed on the floor or a lap. This design feature allows the rider more time to perform other tasks on their daily commute.
The original brackets are placed throughout the bus and are used as connecting brackets between the seats and vertical support handles.

3D printed wheelchairs, foam kiosk and laser cut people were used as scaled models for use within the scaled bus.
DDOT BRIEF: SEATING ARRANGEMENT Create a new seating arrangement that provides wheelchair users the option to sit with other riders instead of being excluded. This new seating arrangement should allow the wheelchair user to create their own seating arrangement instead of needing the driver to assist.
USER CENTERED RESEARCH: RIDE ALONG Christopher, a patient at the Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan (RIM), is seen taking his first ride on a DDOT bus. We rode on the Woodward Avenue bus which took us from RIM to Wayne State University.
Christopher initially backed into position because he felt that is was the easiest option for him.
The DDOT driver was patient with Christopher while he rearranged his chair so the driver could attach the Q'Straint.
Christopher's service animal ended up sitting in the main walkway because of the orientation of his wheelchair.

PROTOTYPING
The prototype stage for the interior began to explore the options for folding chairs that are orientated facing towards the front of the bus instead of facing towards the sides.

CONCEPT OF USE
Final rendering of the interior of the bus shows the potential of 2 wheelchairs sitting side-by-side. This layout allows for greater interaction with other riders.
Notch in back of seat allows for storage.
All seats have the ability to lock away by the use of a push button.
Bench seating allows wheelchair users to reach deeper into the bus.
FINAL DESIGN This design provides wheelchair users with the ability to travel deeper into the bus and providing an independent seating option. The independence is obtained with moving all wheelchair seating options to one side of the bus. ADA compliance is still retained from the addition of bench seating on the opposite side of the aisle. All chairs have the ability to fold upright to accommodate a manual or motorized wheelchair. The rear of the seat can be folded down to accommodate packages instead of them being rested in the lap of the rider. These folding seats will also benefit individuals with large items such as baby stroller or walkers.
MOUNTAIN RESCUE FIRST RESPONDER DRONE
DESIGN BRIEF Incorporate the technology and stealth design from military aircraft and implement into the purpose of mountain rescue drone. Drone technology provides an immediate response to locate, mark and communicate with victims. To achieve the required
RESEARCH To handle moderate payloads, a coaxial rotor will be utilized. To provide the endurance needed, the drone will be fitted with a turbine-powered power plant. Research with Ireland’s Donegal Mountain Search and Rescue found that while a five-person rescue team needs two hours on average to find a victim in one square kilometer, a drone can not only find that victim in 20 minutes. http://www.dji.com/newsroom/news/dji-documents-faster-search-and-rescue-responses-with-drones
IDEATION Visual inspiration came from the heavy use of geometric shapes found on stealth aircraft.
