Typical VPMA Projects
Huntington Memorial Hospital - Respiratory Isolation Chamber
Designed and developed an accurately controlled air pollution chamber used to measure the sensitivity of patients in the chamber to various types and concentrations of pollutants (Asthma/Allergy type sensitivity). Being used for R&D activities by UCLA and Huntington Hospitals.
LA Children's Hospital - Hypoventilation Apparatus
Developing a light nighttime exercise apparatus to raise the heart and breathing rate of children who are born with a dangerously low breathing rate during sleep. They normally require respirators every night to avoid breathing shutdown.
Huntington Research Institute - Neuroprothesis Research
Assisted in component and system concepts on a research program to extend the life of electrically stimulated nerves. (i.e. prolonged life of nerve stimulated by a heart pacemaker.)
Huntington Memorial Hospital - Neonatal Computer Task
Develop a special computer program to facilitate the long time medical record keeping (20 years?) of children born with special disabilities (i.e. premature children who loose one jugular vein and artery as a result of early birthing).
