Optimal Vascular Access for Hemodialysis Patients
When’s the best time to start a patient on hemodialysis? Too soon could lead to costly revision surgeries, too late could risk infection. Nephrologists and patients need more data to understand the schedule for a patient starting hemodialysis

Overview
I had the privilege of working with an incredible group of engineers when I attended the translational medicine graduate school program at Georgia Tech. We worked together to create a prototype and proposal for an IoT medical device that helps physician’s understand the recovery health of a crucial surgical procedure for patient’s undergoing hemodialysis treatment.
Due to my background, I became the core team member with insights and interests within the business of healthcare. The majority of the product requirements, operational decisions, clinical value demonstration, and cost-benefit analysis validation fell under my radar.
I also authored documents for a Design History File starting from ideation to design, including verification and validation of requirements and test cases for intended use and functionality.
My favorite part of this project was getting to design and build a low-level mobile prototype for the mobile application and observability platform component that closed the loop between patient and physician.
Here is a one pager summarizing the project’s purpose:
