Tsetse fly inspired steerable bone drill—a proof of concept

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023
The fixation strength of pedicle screws could be increased by fixating along the much stronger cortical bone layer, which is not possible with the current rigid and straight bone drills. Inspired by the tsetse fly, a single-plane steerable bone drill was

Using Medical Device Logs for Improving Medical Device Design

2013 IEEE International Conference on Healthcare Informatics, 2013
User interfaces that employ the same display and buttons may look the same but can work very differently depending on exactly how they are implemented. In healthcare, it is critical that interfaces that look the same are the same. Hospitals typically have many types of visually similar infusion pumps, but with different software versions and variation ...
