Aerospace Engineering Grad Students Enhancing Neonatal Transport
The journey between hospitals and health care facilities can be especially demanding on premature and critically ill newborns — especially when vibration, noise and movement cause added stress during transport.
At Carleton, Professor Robert Langlois and his team of graduate and undergraduate students are developing methods to improve neonatal ambulance transport systems. Through advanced data collection and simulation, they are working to reduce physical stressors during transit and enhance the stability of mobile intensive care environments. In close collaboration with health care providers, paramedics, and industry partners, the team is developing practical solutions that support better outcomes for Canada’s most vulnerable patients.
