More TV coverage of student projects, this time from the University of Rochester.

Senior design team students talk about projects supported through a 2008 NCIIA Course and Program grant.

The students teamed up with local healthcare and medical companies to come up with creative solutions to real problems:

  • "Operation Respiration," a monitor that works to find early warning signs in newborns, such as decreased oxygen.
  • "Tread Mod," a modified treadmill that allows physical therapists to better facilitate ideal pacing for recovering patients.
