Biomedical engineers play a critical role in advancing solutions that improve both human and animal health worldwide. This senior design team addressed canine visual impairment by developing an innovative sensing device, Paw Pilot, that functions similarly to a white cane, helping visually impaired dogs navigate their environments more safely and confidently. In collaboration with mentors at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, the team combined clinical insight with engineering design to create a solution that enhances quality of life and highlights the meaningful impact of biomedical engineering.
