Mobile health (mHealth) technologies will play a key role in digital initiatives to improve healthcare delivery and outcomes, reduce cost and inequality, and enhance the patient experience. BME’s Young Kim is taking a different approach — to completely minimize the complicated hardware and avoid smartphone attachments.

One of the many pluses of the virtual world is the ability to model before taking an irreversible action. Combining that modeling with medical imaging is a powerful combination of both worlds: the predictive powers of a virtual tool with the real-world images of the subject.

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) have the potential to make ordinary trips, which most people take for granted, available and convenient for persons with disabilities. Brad Duerstock and Brandon Pitts are developing a platform called EASI RIDER — Efficient, Accessible and Safe Interaction in a Real Integrated Design Environment for Riders with disabilities.
