Abstract: My laboratory combines mechanics, medicine, and technology to
solve clinical problems with medical devices. In this talk, I will
describe our work on two clinically relevant problems of 1) measuring
dynamic movements in the lung using the camera image of a bronchoscope,
and 2) measuring dynamic impact to the head using an instrumented
mouthguard. The ultimate goal in the lung is to autonomously drive a
robotic bronchoscope, thereby increasing global access for cancer
screening. The ultimate goal in the brain is to uncover the mechanism
of mild traumatic brain injury and to prevent injury through protective
equipment. The device solutions to both of these problems leverage soft
robotic technologies: a soft flexible bronchoscope in the lung and a
soft folding shock absorber for the head. The computational solution to
the lung problem involves deep learning of anatomical images, and in the
brain finite element models of the soft tissue. These technologies are
mostly at the pre-clinical phase but I intend to translate our
scientific findings to clinical use in the future.
Bio: David Camarillo is Assistant Professor of Bioengineering, (by
courtesy) Mechanical Engineering and Neurosurgery at Stanford
University. He is also the Assistant Director of Engineering at the
Byers Center for Biodesign at Stanford. Dr. Camarillo holds a B.S.E in
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Princeton University, a Ph.D.
in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University and completed his
postdoctoral research fellowship in Biophysics at the University of
California, San Francisco. Dr. Camarillo worked in the surgical robotics
industry at Intuitive Surgical and Hansen Medical, before launching his
laboratory at Stanford in 2012. His current research focuses on
designing force and motion measurement devices for multiple clinical and
physiological areas including the brain, heart, lungs, and reproductive
system. Dr. Camarillo was recently awarded the Hellman Fellowship for
his work in assisted reproductive technology, and the Office of Naval
Research Young Investigator Program award for his research in brain
injury biomechanics. His lab’s research has been featured on NPR, the
New York Times, The Washington Post, ESPN, and TED.com as well as other
media outlets aimed at education of the public.
