The UMass MedTech Team is a student-led medical device design team focused on developing innovative medical devices that address critical gaps in the healthcare space. As the only design team on campus dedicated towards biomedical engineers, we are focused on providing our students with hands-on engineering, business, and leadership skills, equipping them with the necessary skills to succeed in the biomedical industry. 

Recently our team was accepted to present our projects at the Northeast Bioengineering Conference (NEBEC) at Temple University. Funding will directly support our conference fees, travel to Temple University, and accommodations, allowing us to showcase our work on a national platform.  

Currently the team is engaged in four different exciting projects outlined below:

1) KneeVive - an at-home therapy device for treatment of knee osteoarthritis

2) CallaCare - a camera-based, compact redesign of the standard speculum, allowing for a much more comfortable patient experience

3) GaitGuide - a haptic-feedback shoe insert aimed at correcting uneven gait in post-stroke patients

4) AutoVein - an automatic IV insertion device designed to make IV insertion in the clinic much more efficient

With your support, we can continue to empower the next generation of engineers and leaders that will go on to advance patient care and transform lives.
