Capstone Project Developing Silicon EKG Tabs

A group of bioengineering students developed an innovative solution to replace traditional EKG stickers. Their experience shadowing medical professionals in rural Maine last year which was part of a capstone course at Northeastern’s Roux Institute was what inspired the Flextab, a circular silicon-based EKG tab. The capstone trip was supported by a National Institute for Health grant.
