Everyplace Labs is developing a self-service kiosk that automates point-of-care diagnostics in acute care settings, such as as emergency rooms (ERs). Our unique solution enables efficient and reliable testing that is not dependent on staff availability. Our kiosk simplifies testing logistics and aims to reduce testing turnaround time from 65 minutes to 5.

Deerfield, Illinois, US

• Co-led the development of a new Class II medical device from its early concept through a successful regulatory submission with an international team of 20+ people.
• Established and initiated development planning, system definition, risk management, design inputs, and design outputs work streams.
• Authored design and development plan, design review reports, verification and validation plan, data structure interface specification, etc.
• Generated design inputs (intended uses, user needs, system requirements) for regulatory submission and created user workflows.
• Created signal processing algorithm to improve detection speed of pump safety mechanism.
• Created dampening mechanical mechanism to reduce noise experienced by analog sensor.

Bad Homburg, Hessen, DE

• Created >20 sensor device inventions that improve clinical process of blood donation centers. Collaborated with patent attorney to file invention records for patent review. Fresenius Kabi is incorporating the.
• Leading product development initiative with 9 cross-functional groups to improve fluid-flow performance of electromechanical blood apheresis device. Resulted in 1st improvement to mechanical sub-system in ~20 yrs..
• Led team of 4 engineers to characterize the effect of fluid-flow parameter on apheresis device performance. Resulted in counterintuitive insight that fluid-flow performance can be improved without increasing donor.
• Validated/improved usability of Chinese user interface. Verified system requirements/system issues of new software. Played key role in obtaining up-to-date technological resources with aggregate value >$20,000. Became.

• Early device concept development: Wrote modular Matlab software to integrate and control telemetric neuroprosthetic systems in order to achieve brain-controlled stimulation and movement of muscles, transforming.
• Wrote Matlab software to perform non-linear optimization of multivariable function with bounded constraints. This code determines the optimal configuration of delivering electrical energy with several leads to multiple.
• Characterized statistical relationship between input stimulus pulse durations/wrist force response data with sigmoidal function.

Minneapolis, MN, US

• Conducted 2 design-of-experiments studies inspired by post-market clinical feedback/outcomes to characterize mechanical interactions of pacemaker leads with environment to drive future mechanical/electric design.
• Partnered with UMinnesota to run feasibility experiments for creating novel heart dyssynchrony model to study/design optimal lead placements/timing for achieving hemodynamic optimization in heart function restoration.
• Director praised testing method developed, which could have prevented wasting ~$200k in previous project.
• Collaborated with intern to determine electrical parameter for 283 data files through LabView.

Ibadan, Other, NG

• Led team of 3 engineers to develop low-cost, surgical electrical stimulator for infant anorectal malformations in Nigeria:o Collaborated with surgeon to determine intended use & user/system requirements &.
• Performed FMEA/UEA to identify/evaluate patient risks and developed layers-of-safety circuitry to mitigate risks:o Incorporated current-limiting circuit to control current regardless of baby resistances.o Designed.
• Partnered with University of Ibadan, Nigeria to develop one of first biomedical engineering programs in Sub-Saharan Africa:o Hosted forums for select graduate students to learn critical thinking of risk-based, medical.

Published in Gene Therapy - Nature, PLOS ONE, and the Annual Society for Neuroscience Meeting for ALS biotechnology and medical research. Found evidence that a macromolecule traditionally associated with the cardiovascular system increases in ALS mice, suggesting that this molecule could be a potential biomarker for ALS, a neurological disease (not.
