Jeff Wang, a professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, and his students traveled to Capitol Hill on Friday, May 5 and demonstrated a mobile device for point-of-care (POC) diagnostics of infectious diseases as a part of the American Institute of Medical and Biological Imaging (AIMBE) Congressional Biomedical Technology Exhibition.
During the event, researchers from Johns Hopkins University, University of Utah, the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, the University of California–San Diego, MIT, Harvard University, Vanderbilt University, and Children’s National Health System provided live demonstrations of their federally-funded biomedical engineering devices and technologies that have the potential to revolutionize access to health care.
