AUC Graduate Designs A Remote Compliance and Force Sensing Splint for Base of Thumb Osteoarthritis
Belquis Haider ’19, AUC mechanical engineering graduate and a recipient of the Tomorrow's Leaders Scholarship, interned with the University of Leeds in the United Kingdom is working on a research titled HAILO. Haider aimed to develop a product to be used by healthcare providers in the United Kingdom to evaluate the forces between the hand and splints worn by patients suffering from base-of-thumb osteoarthritis — a painful inflammatory condition that affects the joints of around 8.75 million people in the United Kingdom annually and millions of people worldwide.
