The HAPPY (Having a Positive Perception of You) App
­The US is experiencing an epidemic of diabetes, heart disease and mental health problems associated with overweight, especially among children and adolescents. Body Mass Index (BMI) is a widely used tool to assess for risk of overweight or obesity and to serve as a basis for referral and treatment. However, BMI cannot distinguish muscle from fat,...

Noninvasive Tear Stress Sensors
Chronic stress has been widely implicated in a plethora of lethal and life-altering diseases including diabetes, heart attacks, depression, Alzheimer's and osteoporosis. Thus, there is great interest in monitoring stress levels in the population. Stress has both biochemical and physiological effects on the body that can be quantified in bodily fluids....

Microreactor Array Instrument/Platform
High throughput parallel assays are needed to effectively identify and study biomolecules and their activity. Typically it takes a large number of repeated assays to get statistically significant data for studying biomolecules. However, fewer assays would be needed to get statistically meaningful results if the data were of higher quality. Because of...

Radio-Frequency (RF) Imaging Sensor for Advanced Security Fingerprint Biometrics and Mobile Health Monitoring
Current portable and wearable devices use fingerprint analysis for secure authentication. The fingerprint pattern systems analyze only the surface morphology of the fingerprint, making it easy for hackers to spoof and bypass authentication. RF signals can collect tissue information beyond the surface of the finger and can provide increased security...

Glycan Nodes: Multiplexed Glycotransferase Surrogate Analysis for Detecting and Monitoring Cancer
Cancer biologists have known for decades that tumor cells display aberrant sugar polymer (glycan) structures. This means that if glycans can be analyzed in the right way(s), they should serve as excellent markers for the presence and progression of cancer. Altered activity of the enzymes that build glycans (glycotransferases, GTs) is the immediate upstream...
