Wosler focuses on making diagnostic imaging and other health technologies available to all Canadians. By working with underserved and rural communities, Wosler’s patient-centered care and innovation drives their social enterprise tech company to provide Canadians with reliable diagnostic health technologies.
Project Summary
Wosler Diagnostics was looking for a design optimization of their remote medical scanning prototype. In collaboration with Western University, the CRI was able to map and analyse the robotic components, identify suppliers for parts, and map the power and load requirements of the motors to meet the clinical use parameters.
The Challenge
Wosler is developing a remote medical scanning prototype (robot) to accomplish basic diagnostic testing in communities without access to medical technology. The challenge was to create a roadmap for all the robotic components; e.g., software/hardware, motors, control system, and manipulators, in order to plan a prototype that can move and communicate appropriately in a clinical setting.
The Solution
A combined research team at Fanshawe CRI and Western University:
- Analyzed and mapped the robotic components (motors, actuators, and other drivers)
- Identified suppliers for robotic parts that will work with Wosler’s current interface and planned prototype
- Mapped the load and power required to make the motors function and move the robot within set parameters for clinical use
