Project Overview

Our problem: "Doctors are now finding it necessary to test patients experiencing pain or numbness primarily in their extremities, and possibly the trunk or face for neurological damage and warm/heat sensitivity by applying hot sensations to their skin. A device that heats up to target temperatures of 38 and 45 degrees Celsius relatively quickly, and is able to be used many times per charging of the handle is preferred. This device would be an attachment to the already existing battery operated portable and wall mounted Welch-Allyn ophthalmoscope/otoscope handle."

Our team:
Andrew Hoyord
Bern Jordan (Communications)
David Manthei (Course Improvement)
Dana Mueller (Team Leader)
Paul Victorey (Webmaster)
