We're excited to welcome Caroline to the Vessl team! π She's a 4th-year biomedical engineering student at the University of Waterloo, originally from Toronto, and she's joining us as a Mechanical Engineering Co-op.
Caroline is passionate about rehabilitation engineering. She's worked with the Orthopedic Surgery Research Group at St. Joe's Hospital in Hamilton on gait analysis studies evaluating patient recovery after hip and knee surgeries. She's also worked at MAKE+, a lab at the BCIT Applied Research Group in Vancouver, developing a low-cost prosthetic hand for children. Right now, she's part of the Neurorehabilitation Lab at Waterloo, doing motion capture and mobility research.
At Vessl, she'll be helping the engineering team design and build mechanical components for the Kinn system, building prototypes and running tests to make sure our designs comply with medical device regulations and standards.
What drew her to Vessl? The mission to make life more comfortable for people using prosthetics. Poor socket fit is a huge issue in the prosthetics field, and she's excited to be part of a team working on a real solution. She's here because she wants to help people regain mobility and independence. Fun fact, Caroline speaks 3 languages.
We're thrilled to have her on board. Say hi to Caroline in the comments! π
