Affordable Diagnostics: Low-Cost ECG Development

A research project focused on developing affordable, portable ECG devices for low-resource healthcare settings.

This research initiative brings together science and engineering students to design an affordable and portable electrocardiogram (ECG) device for low-resource healthcare settings. Over several months, students collaborated to build, test, and refine prototypes that reduce costs by 70% compared to existing devices. The project addresses critical healthcare gaps, making diagnostics accessible to underserved communities and contributing to sustainable healthcare innovation.
