Meghan Hegarty
Major: Biomedical Engineering
Email: mshegart@ncsu.edu
Education :
B.S. in Biomedical Engineering, University of Hartford
M.S. in Biomedical Engineering, North Carolina State University
Biography:
During the summers (June, 2001 – August, 2005), I worked as an engineering technician at Arrow International. Arrow International is an international medical device company that specializes in cardiac assist products. The division that I worked for concentrated on developing and manufacturing intra-aortic balloon catheters. I was responsible for the validation testing of the 35cc IAB for use in Japan.
Research Interests:
Compression stockings can be used to non-invasively treat and manage a variety of vascular conditions. While successful, the mechanism by which compression improves vascular health remains unclear. Furthermore, studies have revealed discrepancies between the pressure profiles quoted by manufacturers and those measured in practice. These factors ultimately point to a need to continuously monitor the state of the compression stocking and its interaction with the vascular system. We propose to design a wireless device to continuously track the health of the peripheral vasculature. The sensing modules include (1) a pressure sensing array for characterizing the static and dynamic compression profile, (2) a bio-impedance sensor for assessing leg volume, and (3) a portable ultrasound system for measuring arterial and venous blood flow velocity. Data from these sensors is continuously transmitted to a mobile computing device, and later to a centralized database.

- Coordinated multiple robotics with sensor networks
The research is inspired by applications in the fields of agriculture and military. One of the major areas of Currently I am focusing on developing intelligent algorithms to localize targets in unknown environments without the aid of global positioning information. This allows the algorithm to be generic and can be applied in different locations. The algorithm uses the received signal strength in randomly deployed wireless sensors to generate a virtual gradient in the region. The gradient peak is located at or close-to the targets in the region.
