The Wearable Informatics Lab is 3D printing face shields for health care providers
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and in conjunction with Dr. Tester’s FAB lab, Drs. Oman, Afghah, and Razi, the Wearable Informatics Lab is hosting 3D printing of face shields for local health care workers. Shown here, a prototype, is the printed head strap and a clear lamination sheet shield. The College of Engineering, Informatics, and Applied Sciences has generously donated to this cause, providing sufficient funds to kick start such efforts. If you too would like to donate to help support these face shields, please use our Disability and Rehab Engineering NAU Foundation link here: https://alumni.nau.edu/giving.aspx?fnds=04720. All funds donated between April 1 and July 30 will be used to support printing more shields.
Congratulations to the NAU Outstanding Senior Award recipients, especially our very own Felicity E!

Come see what our lab has been working on Thursday, June 27 from 3:05 – 4:00 pm in the Upper limb monitoring track.
Lab Hike – Up Humphrey’s Peak!
In our semi-regular tradition, we went on a lab hike today! As our lab members know, social cohesion is an important part of being in the Wearable Informatics Lab.
Congratulations to Dustin Branges, Kristen Shryack, and Caitlin Barrett!
Special congratulations to Dustin, Kristen, and Caitlin on graduating with their degrees in ME (BS), EE (BS), and CS (MSE) respectively! We will miss them in the lab, but wish them the best in their future endeavors!
BHI-BSN 18
Congrats to Caitlin Barrett and Kristen Shryack on their presentations at BHI-BSN 2018! They both did a great job.
Progress on the ABRC Stroke Survivor Rehab Project
It took the entire lab to “raise the barn” in our 600 sq ft lab. As you see here, this steel structure is just the start of the support system for the ABRC Harness project. Thanks to the team effort and solid design (care of Felicity and Dustin), the frame went together in about 3 hours and was easier than prefab furniture!
