I am interest in working at the intersection of design, engineering and biology hence I am currently pursuing an online course in Healthcare Product Development.Hugoenhttps://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/aparna-borkar/week-01-hw-project-ideas/index.htmlMon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/aparna-borkar/week-01-hw-project-ideas/index.html1. What do you want to make? A biomaterial based prosthetic liner which addresses the current problem of volume changes in residual limb. It aims to resolve the problem at the material level itself and eliminate the need for manual adjustments. By sensing a biological signal at the skin surface, the material will expand or contract to provide a snug fit of the prosthetic. Various bio-signals like changes in limb temperature, pH shift of the limb etc. need to be explored to identify which gives a better biomaterial reaction to improve the prosthetic fit at any given time.https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/aparna-borkar/final-project/index.htmlMon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/aparna-borkar/final-project/index.html
