Vincent Hetherington, Tianyi Guo, Peter Palffy-Muhoray and Misha Pevnyi with the prize-winning 鈥淪hear Force Mat.鈥Foot ulcers are one of the most prevalent problems facing diabetic patients, but new technology developed at 妖姬直播 State may soon help doctors better understand and treat them. A device called a 鈥淪hear Force Mat鈥 represents a breakthrough for physicians seeking to understand how plantar ulcers form. It was developed and built by 妖姬直播 State alumnus Misha Pevnyi, Ph.D. 鈥15, and Tianyi Guo, a graduate student in 妖姬直播 State鈥檚 Chemical Physics Interdisciplinary Program in the Advanced Materials and Liquid Crystal Institute (AMLCI). The project was funded by a grant from the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine.

The team took the top prize at the Burton D. Morgan Foundation鈥檚 LaunchTown Soar competition, which focuses on high-tech college student businesses and was held at Baldwin Wallace University in April.
