FlexyWrap

Wearable orthopedic infrared device to stimulate bone healing in low-resource settings 

Methods: 

• Utilized Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) methods to develop 

• Utilized the Stanford Bioengineering Design Process to design, prototype, and test the medical device. 

Research Responsibilities: 

• Designed and developed the battery-powered electrical circuit with four infrared diode lasers;

• Ensured the product was safe (e.g., would not overheat and burn the patients’ skin) and aligned with FDA guidelines 

• Determined the patentability of the product

• Researched and learned about light therapy to create the new device. 

• Presented product along with a formal written report and PowerPoint presentation

• Managed a limited budget

This project was made as part of WPI's BME 3300: Biomedical Engineering Design course. 

Taught by Professors Solomon Mensah, PhD, and Funmi Ayobami, PhD.
