They may have trouble chewing harder-to eat foods or may feel uncomfortable or embarrassed eating with friends and family because of their missing teeth. Under a grant from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Foundation, Dr. Rena Zelig utilized a user centered approach to develop an... Read More

PulseLab: An Integrated and Expandable Toolbox for Pulse Wave Velocity-base Blood Pressure Estimation

2022-007 – Invention Summary: Cuff-less blood pressure (BP) estimation methods have been long pursued as substitutions for the conventional BP measurement methods to facilitate continuous and automatic monitoring of BP. The PWV (pulse wave velocity)-BP models, describing the relationship between the PWV and the BP, have been derived and used in recent BP-estimation studies. However, currently,... Read More

ValiDNA: Forensic DNA Software

2019-061 – DNA collected from a crime scene or environment can be used to determine the likely sources that explain the data. DNA signal is complex as it contains representations of partial genomes from any number of unknown contributors, which is ultimately affected by the processing decisions made by the laboratory. As such, advanced computational systems that help laboratories choose optimal... Read More
