Wellness Call program launched

Jeff McMenamin, community and customer support manager at United Disabilities Services (UDS), launched a Wellness Call program, using grants and donations to help provide wellness calls to individuals free of charge for a limited time. Realizing how much the COVID-19 pandemic brought isolation upon the population, especially the aging community and those with disabilities, the idea for the Wellness Call program was born.

With the rapid onset of technology that makes it easier to stay home, the risk of assist individuals with arthritis, carpal tunnel, and grip issues. The prototype adjusted to any size lid and any height jar and allowed users to break a jar’s vacuum seal using just one hand. The bottom was encased with a rubber material to prevent the device from sliding on counters. The members of the Yellow Team were Lillian Byrd, Caleb Hooper, Ethan Link, Pedro Rodriguez, and Kristina Valera.

At the conclusion of the fall semester, PADEP faculty advisers nominated the Red Team’s mobile bed frame and the Orange Team’s pet collar to move forward with business analysis in the spring. To determine which projects would be nominated, Jim Laurie, assistant teaching professor of business, surveyed the faculty and staff members who attended the event, summarizing their input for the PADEP faculty advisers. Armed with that data, faculty advisers Amir Barakati, associate teaching professor of mechanical engineering; David Kresse, associate teaching professor of occupational therapy; and Rungun Nathan, professor of engineering, evaluated the data to determine if the projects have the potential to go through a second iteration.

Now that the Red and Orange teams have been selected to move forward, at least one occupational therapy and one engineering student from each team will need to continue in the spring as the business students take the lead.

To learn more about the PADEP and its history, contact Rungun Nathan at rungun.nathan@psu.edu.
