An Implantable Device for Restoring Muscle Function in Nerve or Muscle Impairment
A neuroprosthetic implant that uses existing nerve or muscle signals to replace damaged muscle and restores movement Problem: While prosthetics often replace entire limbs, smaller nerve or muscle injuries are common, severely impact daily life, and have limited treatment options. Facial paralysis is one example, where nerve damage causes muscle weakness,...

Cardiovascular Assist Device Improving Circulation In Patients With Congenital Heart Disease Undergoing The Fontan Procedure
Valveless pump device implanted during the Fontan surgical procedure in patients with single-ventricle congenital heart disease. Problem: The Fontan procedure is a lifesaving surgery for patients with single-ventricle congenital heart disease, where only one chamber of the heart is functional. The operation reroutes blood flow from the heart to the...

Origami-Inspired And Remotely Adjustable Pediatric Heart Implant
Pediatric pulmonary artery band (PAB) using origami-inspired fabrication that is remotely adjustable after implantation. Problem: Congenital heart defects affect 1% of births in the United States and can lead to irregular blood flow through the main pulmonary artery (MPA). A pulmonary artery band (PAB) is an implant that can be placed on the MPA to...

A Fully Automated, Origami-Inspired Approach for Manufacturing Self-Assembling, Self-Reconfiguring, and Reprogrammable Structures.
An origami-based approach to generate complex shapes by folding magnetically programmed sheets. Problem: Shape-changing materials are desirable in applications such as soft robotics, implantable and wearable devices, minimally invasive medicine, and micromachines. Common control signals used for self-folding, such as temperature, diffusion, and capillary...
