prosthetic devices computer-aided designThe goal of the project is to deliver computer aided design (CAD) models of Vessl's prosthetic socket design to de-risk aspects of the design and virtually test out different solutions. These designs will also be helpful in conducting product validation with end users and customers.
The outcomes will be:
1) CAD models of the proposed design.
Research into prosthetics to understand the market and current solutions.
CAD modelling of prosthetic socket designs.
You will work closely with Oleksiy Zaika, co-founder of Vessl, who oversees product modelling. He will advise you on the changes to make to the design and guide you through the process. You will meet weekly for feedback and questions. He is also available via email for any questions between meetings. You will start off with the current models to get an idea of what is expected and to guide your design.
About the Community Partner
Vessl is changing the way amputees interact with their prosthetic devices. We are a company born out of Canada's premier medical innovation fellowship at Western University and are proud members of Ontario's and Canada's life sciences ecosystem. We are a newly minted company in the early stages of product development for a self-adjusting prosthetic socket, which creates the interface between the amputee's residual limb and prosthesis. Sydney can fill a room with her optimism and makes sure things run smoothly while applying her skills as an engineer to steer the prototype in the right direction. Oleksiy, the clinical anatomist brings a creative touch to every challenge and finds diamonds in the rough to make sure Vessl stays agile and innovative at every step. We are excited to bring new talent onboard and look forward to meeting student's from across the country that can help us take the next steps.
