ShockSense: Early Recognition of Pediatric Hemorrhagic Shock
- Program: Biomedical Engineering
- Course: EN.580.497 Advanced Design Team
- Year: 2026
Project Description:
Hemorrhagic shock is one of the leading causes of preventable death in pediatric trauma, yet its early recognition remains difficult. ShockSense is a clinician-centered device that provides automated, real-time shock index calculations tailored specifically for children’s physiology. ShockSense uses a machine learning algorithm trained on pediatric trauma cases to provide a high-visibility display with color-coded risk levels, real-time vitals, and transfusion likelihood scores that can be integrated with any hospital monitor. The system streamlines decision-making in high-pressure environments to fill one of pediatric emergency care’s most critical diagnostic gaps.
