Bio

I'm a student-athlete that goes to Hoover High School. I will be graduating this year with a high school career filled with many memories and academic success. I have a 4.2 weighted GPA and I take all AP classes because I take school seriously. I'm apart of the National Honor Society and Mu Alpha Theta. I would very much appreciate any help that I can get along the way from all of the kind people on this platform who are willing to help people like me further our academic careers. I have always loved programming and solving problems in general. So, I am going to be furthering my academic journey at Auburn University to be an electrical engineer.

      One problem in the world that I see is the lack of affordability of a lot of medical equipment for people suffering from a disability. In the engineering program, at Hoover High School students explore numerous projects with companies that the high school has partnered with to develop affordable solutions to people's disabilities. For example, there was a client that suffered from paraplegia, so a group of engineers and I developed a lifting device for this man which he should receive in next month. While the product that will be shipped to the client is a minimum viable product the cost of the device is roughly $350 compared to my group's competitor the Hoyer lift which is at least $1,000 and much worse. For proof here is a little video of the device working in Solidworks https://youtu.be/UK4-FKtKUPM. Albeit as students the group is not being paid but there is still a way to beat any competition in the market. With professional engineers at Mechanism, who are much more trained than a bunch of high school kids, there should be a way to profit from selling medical equipment at a lower amount than every competitor in the market. Another example of how developing solutions to the problems of disabled people can become profitable is a spoon made by Liftware for people with tremors. The company is not big but from what my engineering teacher said the idea is profitable. Moreover, if Mechanism decides to pursue such a venture and receive media attention so that the people suffering from the targeted disability sees Mechanism's product then money can be made. Also, another brilliant way to make more money is to run a website that will allow people with a disability state the problem that they would like to be fixed regarding their disability. Customizable options would obviously cost more but there are plenty of disabled people in the world who feel that the market just does not have modern, workable products that fit their needs. Specifically, a lot of medical equipment require medical professionals to work them when the device could just be operated by an individual. For example, there is a patient lift in every hospital that requires two people to move one person from point A to point B. All the device does is move someone which could be easily be done by the patient himself and not a bunch of nurses. People with disabilities would strongly desire to introduce even a little independence back into their lives. Such a desire could be met by Mechanics to be the worlds biggest supermarket for medical equipment to people with disabilities. Mechanics could be the Amazon for people with disabilities selling individualized equipment. Marketing such an idea would not be too costly because with just a few features in media articles that trigger top search results on Google there should be some initial customers to grow the company. Finally, finding some sort of support should not be hard either with crowd funding websites to at least cover some parts of the costs.
