2025 Design Projects | 5E3 Innovation in Product Development
Fig Medical
Their project, the Femoral Nail Drill Stabiliser for Distal Locking, explores a potential solution to a challenge faced during orthopaedic surgery.
SideSense
Their project focuses on improving cyclist safety in hybrid bus and cycle lanes through a system that alerts bus drivers when a cyclist is travelling alongside their vehicle.
Med-AI
Their project explored how generative AI could help streamline the development and regulatory approval of medical software across multiple international markets.
Siling
Their project explored a redesign of the mid-urethral sling, a medical device used in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence in women.
Waves by Clearway
The team developed a concept that encourages attendees to leave in staggered waves through incentives such as food and retail vouchers, helping to ease congestion and improve traffic flow.
StabilAid
Using motors to detect and correct changes in position, the device helps keep the tray stable during use. The team also developed a system to capture and analyse movement data, enabling patient progress to be monitored over time.
LanTurn
The team developed The LanTurn, an interactive device designed for public settings such as restaurants, encouraging greater participation in surveys through a simple, hands-on experience.
MAI Civil Engineering
The team's Transport Design project focused on developing a light rail transit route connecting the N7 corridor with the north of the M50, including links to Dublin Airport or a proposed MetroLink stop.
The Independence Guardian
The team developed a smart bag strap device that provides arrival notifications, live location sharing and emergency alerts, helping parents and caregivers stay connected while giving children greater independence on their journey to and from school.
