"Joining the exoRise team has been an amazing experience for me. I have a cell and tissue engineering concentration, and I was excited to work on a mechanically driven project. Working on exoRise has exposed me to the public health aspects of the medical field and I am grateful for the unique opportunity to interact with and create a solution for such important stakeholders as nurses."

"Since joining the BME program, I have been motivated to create something that could make a real clinical impact. Patient transfer is an area that needs real change, not only for patients but for nurses too. Working with exoRise has been an opportunity to make a difference in a clear area of need."

As a future Army officer and a BME from JHU, it was my intent to utilize the knowledge I acquired from this program to make a difference for our service members. Seeing both sides of the spectrum has granted me a greater understanding for the dangers that these brave men and women put themselves through and the numerous hardships that follow. By targeting the patient transfer realm via exoRise, I felt like I could apply everything I’ve learned to finally make that difference and help those who sacrificed so much.​
