“Black Box” for the Operating Suite
Ann Willemsen-Dunlap
Today’s hospitals are highly complex, high-risk systems in which threats to patient and operational safety are constant, and where errors occur all too often. The purpose of this research program is to discover how and what portions of a comprehensive Risk Assessment and Management System (RAMS) developed by the USAF Global Air Mobility Command (AMC) must be modified in order to develop a similar program for use in the acute perioperative care setting.

Frontiers in Home Sleep Laboratory Monitoring
Sarah Zallek
Drs. Sarah Zallek, Brad Gleason, and Patrick Elwood of the Illinois Neurological Institute have partnered with Jump to conceive and create new devices that will expand our ability to diagnose and treat sleep disorders from the home. One of those disorders is sleep apnea, a condition that is very common and linked to a tremendous number of other serious health conditions, such as stroke. The emergence of consumer devices such as Fitbit and similar wearable technologies have expanded the field and promoted self and home study. Those devices are certainly useful at some level, but are not a replacement for formal sleep studies. Read more…
Hydrodynamic Lab for Hydrocephalus Treatment Innovation
Julian Lin
Hydrocephalus treatment with shunts is fraught with failure. We have previously studied the flow dynamics in proximal catheters and developed the Rivulet catheter. We are establishing synthetic models to simulate growing infants’ heads. The goal is to establish the pressure volume relationships as infants’ heads grow, following the typical head growth curve.
