DEVELOPING INNOVATIVE STRATEGIES
Optimizing Pediatric Health
Advisor
The faculty advisor for this project is Biomedical Engineering Professor and retired Pediatric Pulmonologist, Dr. Andre Muelenaer.
Target Hospital
Our target hospital we are working with is Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital, in Blantyre, Malawi.
ABOUT OUR PROJECT
Hospitals in low-income countries often lack the desired number of nurses to check on the patients during the night shift, especially in the pediatric wards. This leads to many patients dying in the night of treatable causes. We are working for Team Malawi to create a vital signs monitor for Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in Blantyre, Malawi.
