I am also interested in developing medical devices. My team and I are developing a low-cost early infection screening device for peritoneal dialysis patients for earlier treatment intervention, as infection of the peritoneum is a serious complication. We first invented the device in the Stanford Bioengineering Senior Capstone course series. We have presented at several conferences and were awarded the KidneyX Phase 1 Finalist prize from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the American Society of Nephrology in 2019.
