Dr. Magdalena Sanz Cortes is an associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Baylor College of Medicine. She advises senior engineering students at Rice University who have created a prototype of a device to monitor the pulse and oxygen levels of a fetus undergoing endoscopic fetal surgery in a mother’s womb. The WombOx team of senior engineering students worked in close collaboration with the Texas Children’s Fetal Center to create their device, which miniaturizes the components found in a pulse oximeter commonly clipped to a patient’s finger in a doctor’s office. In this podcast, Dr. Sanz Cortes will discuss her students’ WombOx prototype and how it will impact the medical device industry.
