Hello! my name is Mohammed Hasan and I am an aspiring biomedical engineer with a passion for building Medtech/Biotech solutions. My projects and experience have taught me valuable skills particularly in the areas of physical fabrication techniques as well as in prototyping and design. Some highlights of my work are depicted below.
Resume:
Simple-Sample is designed to automate the sampling of the various bodily fluids collected in healthcare settings. Currently blood and urine must be sampled by staff manually and sent to laboratories for further analysis. Automating this process saves valuable time and resources, with the built in cartridge system improving both sanitation and ease of disposal while providing a platform for future point-of-care diagnostic technologies.
The key elements of this design are a peristaltic pump and capacitive fluid sensor. When fluid is detected it is automatically switched on, drawing fluid until the cartridge is full. After a user defined incubation time the pump is automatically reverses to drain the cartridge, with a system of tubing and check valves ensuring disposal without cross-contamination.
This project has lead to a collaboration with Manak Bajaj on his start-up, Wonder Guard. His company is built around the early detection of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI), and as an engineering intern I am working with him on prototype development.

Collaboration with Wonderguard:
DynaGrip is an exoskeleton designed to both increase the functionality of an impaired hand in the short term in addition to rehabilitating the range of motion and strength of the individual overtime.
The design consists of a 3D-printed frame and joints, with springs to provide the flexion force and a servo and cable to provide the extension force. This configuration allows for the device to fit around a persons hand, providing increased force generation capability while also exercising the hand.
This design was presented at the annual iBiomed Design Showcase, which can be found at the attached link.

Individuals with limited hand mobility experience difficulty using traditional computer mice due to the fine motor skills and positioning required. Clickmxte offers an ergonomic alternative which increases the accessibility to computer technology, opening doors to communication, recreation, and even job opportunities which would otherwise cause discomfort and physical detriment.
Clickmxte remaps the mouse buttons to a large lever mechanism gripped by the whole hand, with added support for the wrist and forearm.
Clickmxte has been featured as part of multiple accelerator programs, including Residency @THE CLINIC and the CABHI Next Gen program, the latter of which raised $3000 CAD in funding for further development. Links to these achievements can be found attached.
