People
The people in the system include patients who need durable shoulder function, surgeons who need reliable fixation and workable revision paths, and rehabilitation teams who inherit the consequences of mechanical design decisions.
Patent + Medical Device
A patented modular glenoid implant concept from biomedical engineering capstone work, focused on shoulder arthroplasty, fixation, implant longevity, revision burden, and downstream rehabilitation outcomes.

People
The people in the system include patients who need durable shoulder function, surgeons who need reliable fixation and workable revision paths, and rehabilitation teams who inherit the consequences of mechanical design decisions.
Product
The product concept was a modular glenoid implant for shoulder arthroplasty, connecting physical geometry, fixation strategy, material behavior, and surgical workflow into a single medical-device design problem.
Problem
The glenoid side of shoulder arthroplasty is a demanding interface: bone quality, stress concentration, fixation, long-term wear, surgical access, and revision burden all interact. A local design decision can create global consequences for recovery.
Process
The work translated anatomical and clinical constraints into design inputs, explored geometry and fixation tradeoffs, and treated the implant as part of a living biomechanical system rather than an isolated component.
Product Brief
This page anchors the medical-device side of the portfolio. It connects biomedical engineering, biomechanics, surgical workflow thinking, and patient outcome framing into the same design language later used across clinical AI, coaching, and embodied interfaces.
Support durable shoulder arthroplasty outcomes while reducing revision burden where possible.
Balance anatomy, fixation, biocompatibility, materials, stress distribution, and surgical workflow.
Shows first-principles device thinking before the later shift into software, AI, and human factors systems.
