Abstract: Doug will describe several examples of rehabilitation engineering projects he has worked on, giving some personal insight into the design process, relating experiences, and perhaps passing along some helpful guiding advice he has received over the years. Biosketch: Doug Schwandt began his career in Rehabilitation Engineering with a Stanford ME210 (now ME310) design project, on a student team creating the Handbike, the first arm-powered two-wheeled bicycle for lower-limb disabled. After graduation, he continued the Handbike development, and went on to design various other devices for the disabled with the Design Development team at the Palo Alto VA Rehab R&D Center, including finger-spelling hands, hyper/hypo gravity devices and specialty cycle ergometers. Over the years, Doug has also consulted on various exciting and challenging projects outside of the VA, including exercise concepts for long-term space travel, MRI compatible fixtures and mobility devices, and robots for physical therapy. No longer a VA employee, Doug continues to work as a consultant to universities and companies as a free-lance consulting design engineer, and part-time as a springboard diving coach.
Abstract: The presentation will touch on: 1) the history of ethical issues in human subjects research, 2) the principles of human subjects research, 3) the balance between the benefits and risks of human subject research, 4) the process of informed consent, and 5) case studies. Biosketch: Sandra Bardas is a pharmacist at Stanford Hospital & Clinics with clinical pharmacy specialty expertise in emergency, trauma, pain management, investigational drug studies, and anticoagulation therapy. She is a member of Stanford's Administrative Panel on Human Subjects in Medical Research - Institutional Review Board (IRB) #3.
