“I’ve gotten to meet so many amazing people with similar interests to me but from a diverse array of backgrounds through my project team, MEND, and M-HEAL’s board. Our multidisciplinary approach to global health and addressing health inequities, as well as the dedication of our members, is what makes the work we do so impactful.”
Team Flow
Our mission is to develop an efficient, user-friendly, and cost-effective method to accurately monitor and control the release intravenous fluids into patients at hospitals and clinics in Ghana.
Project MESA
Our mission is to reduce cervical cancer incidence for women in low resource communities all over the world by increasing screening accessibility through our portable, mobile, and accurate gynecological exam table.
CSF Global
Our mission is to develop and help implement improvements in feeding and nutrition for children with cerebral palsy in Bangladesh and other low-resource settings.
The Initiative
Our mission is to develop a low-cost solution to neonatal mortality due to low birthweight and hypothermia through sustained thermoregulation for patients in low-resource communities.
Solar Fridge
Compared to professional solar-powered vaccines fridges, Solar Fridge takes a unique approach by adapting a regular commercial mini fridge to meet WHO guidelines, instead of building one from the ground-up. The purpose of this is to make the technology more affordable and accessible.
Team DRIP
Diabetes has been a growing concern in Mexico, particularly surrounding wound care education and access to assistive walking devices for diabetic amputees. Working with the community of Puerto Penasco, Mexico, DRIP is split into a technical subteam, focused on ideating solutions for a lack of assistive walking devices, and an education team, focused on improving access to wound care and other diabetic education.
PeriOperative
Our mission is to provide an affordable, reusable, automatic, safe and effective solution to allow public hospitals in the Dominican Republic to keep their patients warm and prevent complications that can negatively impact patient outcomes and increase the financial burden on the hospital and patient.
Project Mia
Our mission is to develop a sustainable method to improve the menstrual experience for women and girls in the Peruvian Amazon in order to improve community health and promote socioeconomic opportunities within the communities.
LIFT
We urgently need support for caregivers in underfunded communities to assist older adult patients in repositioning, especially in confined spaces. This aid becomes particularly vital when patients experience mobility challenges. Our goal is to empower caregivers, enabling them to facilitate patient movements seamlessly and efficiently, all while prioritizing patient comfort.
Neonatal Asphyxia Project (NAP)
The Neonatal Asphyxia Project’s mission is to design a device that applies hypothermia therapy to mitigate the effects of asphyxia in neonates born in low-resource communities.
Project Alivio
Our mission is to develop a method to reduce the incidence of pressure ulcers that form in the San Juan de Dios Hospital by lowering the physical demand of patient turning and prioritizing the turning of patients with a higher risk of developing pressure ulcers.
Team PACT
Our mission is to design a cervical cancer screening urine collection device for people with disabilities who are unable or uncomfortable with getting tested by a medical professional.
