Nurses are often not provided with the tools and support necessary to provide quality patient care. This is evident in critical care where patients often have 10 IV lines and nurses make due with handwritten tape to organize, label, and maintenance their lines. Although better practices are known, it's surprising to learn that tape is the most common tool provided to nurses by hospitals. Relying on tape leads to 4.5% of patients having a preventable adverse drug event because of their infusion medications. We founded Crimson Medical Solutions to make best practices easier for nurses managing many IV line on patients in critical care. We do this by providing Joint Commission recommended practices on an easy to use tool for managing IV lines.IV line management, known as IV line spaghetti, has been a longstanding issue for critical care nurses. Nurses currently use tape, labels, attach tongue depressors to the side of the bed, or MacGyver other tools to manage IV lines. Our product, the IV Manager is a standardized IV line organization tool that improves quality and saves time for nurses so they can focus on patient care. We are currently piloting with select innovation centers and intensive care units at hospitals.Check out our website and demonstration video!Website- https://crimsonmedicalsolutions.com/Demonstration Video- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSO3E_mN7Kg

Interdisciplinary undergraduate research experience leading to multiple awards in technical research presentation.Managed a research project in protein engineering lab at WSU over summer 2017. Utilized PCR based mutagenesis to produce and purify mutated glucose oxidase to be optimized for use in an enzymatic biofuel cell battery. I presented my research at the Showcase for Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities (SURCA) and received a technical presentation award.After summer 2017 and before I began my next research project in summer 2018, I worked in the protein engineering lab as a laboratory technician. Lab procedures include PCR, cyclic voltammetry, preparing solutions/buffers, pH adjustment, electrophoresis, sterilization procedures, plasmid transformation/purification, and affinity chromatography.Starting summer 2018, I operated independently to optimize a blood sugar powered enzymatic biofuel cell system in an electrochemistry lab at WSU. Utilizing the sample of glucose oxidase I purified in the summer of 2018, I worked towards developing a more efficient biofuel cell by establishing direct electron transfer between the enzyme and electrode. Designed experiments that would provide evidence that, when implemented correctly, our enzyme could be used to create a highly productive enzymatic biofuel cell battery.
