The Problem: Repair and replacement of the arthriticknee joint is difficult due to limited access and poor visualization. People who have total knee replacement must decrease theiractivity level and face re-operation as theprosthetic knee will degrade over time.
The Challenge: Invent a minimally invasive approach to diagnose or treat osteoarthritis of the kneejoint. Your invention should ultimately result in faster recovery time, easier and more costeffective rehabilitation and have the potentialto allow patients to return to greater activity.

Invention Challenge #4
“Medical Device for Biologic Detection or Monitoring”
Develop device for the detection and/or monitoring of biologic factors.
Your approach can be remote, implantable, wireless, interface with the Internet, etc.
The monitoring, sensing or detection activity should aid in the prevention, diagnosis or monitoring of a biologic condition.
