Work
Meaningful innovation begins with understanding the people we serve, then creating solutions with them, not simply for them.
Design Research
An op-ed in STAT
About the improvised devices families build when the medical supply chain doesn’t reach them.
Tracheostomy Care Research
Children with medical complexity face steep barriers to care, insurance coverage, and the devices and supplies they depend on.
The Kangarobe Study
Kangaroo Care (KC) has been proven to enhance physiological stability, growth, and bonding in preterm, low-birthweight infants.
Trach Sense Testing
Some of the leading causes of tracheostomy-related complications in pediatric populations are accidental decannulation and obstruction events that result in permanent neurological damage or death.
Experimental Learning
Experiential learning is applied across many industries, but its impact in design education is not well known.
Human-Centered Quality Improvement
Both design thinking (DT) and quality improvement methodologies have their unique strengths and weaknesses.
Neonatal Epinephrine Delivery Study
Physicians evaluated a novel neonatal epinephrine packaging design aimed at eliminating dose preparation time.
Research for NOOMA: A delayed cord-clamping cart
Delayed cord clamping (DCC) is endorsed by multiple professional organizations for both term and preterm infants.
Pelvic Lift Cushion Study
Gynecological exam beds with stirrups are considered by many the gold standard for patient positioning when performing a pelvic exam and suturing following a birth.
Congestive Heart Failure Research
Engaged by the Orlando Healthcare Foundation (OHF) to conduct ethnographic research with patients diagnosed with advanced congestive heart failure (CHF).
A Prospective Clinical Study of Primo-Lacto
A multi-site clinical evaluation of the closed colostrum collection system.
Designing the Ideal L&D Unit
There is limited research exploring the relationship between design and patient safety outcomes, especially in maternal and neonatal care.
