Clinical Usability of a Wound Measurement Device

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010) Nemeth, Michelle E. ; Sprigle, Stephen ; Gajjala, Anita ; Georgia Institute of Technology. Center for Assistive Technology and Environmental Access ; Shepherd Center (Atlanta, Ga.)

Monitoring wound size is an integral component to the assessment and treatment of chronic wounds. Conventional methods, such as ruler measures and transparency tracings, for measuring wound size often have low accuracy and reliability. Newer high tech methods, while more reliable and accurate, are often expensive and difficult to use. The objective of the study was to design a wound measurement device (WMD) with the following features: ease of use, low cost, non-contact, time-saving, hand-held, reliable, and battery operated.

The goal of this project was to produce a test device and methodology capable of measuring the mechanical efficiency of manual wheelchairs. The result would provide an objective measure of wheelchair performance that are required to effectively prescribe wheelchairs and to code wheelchairs properly for reimbursement.

Describing Graphic Files for Students with Visual Impairments

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2004)

Graphic files are very commonly used in online distance education, whether as clip art in a Microsoft Word document, a chart in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, or as an illustration in an HTML document. Providing a text alternative for these graphic files provides students with visual impairments with an opportunity to have the same level of information as other students accessing these files. However, in preparing files with graphical information, instructors should strive to provide the appropriate amount of alternative information to accommodate students with disabilities. Providing too much information can cause a student to bog down in unnecessary details. Providing too little information can cause a student to miss important details. The goal should be to provide descriptions that are short, to the point, but that convey the same information that a student without a disability would have. Instructors can also choose to provide both short and long descriptions of graphic images. Long description links can be used in HTML files to provide information about complex images.

A Clinically Affordable Non-Contact Wound Measurement Device

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007) Duckworth, Mark ; Patel, Nirmal ; Joshi, Aditya ; Lankton, Shawn ; Georgia Institute of Technology. Center for Assistive Technology and Environmental Access

In this paper we present a hand-held, clinically affordable, non-contact wound measurement device. The device was designed with ease of use in mind and to be capable of processing a single wound in under 1 minute. The current prototype is built on a Sony-Ericsson P900 phone and interfaces via Bluetooth with a laptop where the majority of data processing is done. The proposed final version of the device is a single-unit hand-held device where all of the processing takes place.
Introducing Asymmetry to Wheelchair Design

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2005) Kong, Linghua ; Georgia Institute of Technology. Center for Assistive Technology and Environmental Access

This paper reports the use of asymmetry in designing the chassis of a power wheelchair. The innovative design uses and tests two kinds of power wheels and a new suspension structure. This design carefully considers features which satisfying the special needs of the aging population. Basic electromechanical models and stress analysis of the key parts of the new features have been performed. Prototypes were fabricated in the shop. Performance analysis will be done, and a comparison test to current wheelchair technology completed, when the fully manufactured wheelchair is available.
