///PROJECT & IMPACT///
Abhinabha Barat, a student at Shrewsbury High School in Massachusetts is passionate about impacting the world with BioMed Technology and studying at a Top School, possibly an Ivy League.
Altus Education coached Abhinabha Barat during the COVID times to focus on building a “wearable device” that will connect ” Bluetooth Pacemakers” and impact millions of patients with a heart condition receive real-time insights to a conveniently created wearable device, which is absent in the industry.
Abhinabha under the supervision of Altus Education learned an Industry-leading CAD tool called Onshape and designed the wearable device based on the “Design-Thinking” and “System-Thinking” and even built videos and a website (www.TrakLife.org).
Currently Abhinabha has applied for a Patent for his invention! Check out his video.

PROJECT: DESIGN A ST JUDE’S STYLE CANCER HOSPITAL IN INDIA FOR CHILDREN
This is an entirely new concept of designing a cancer hospital for kids. The entire project was built in 6 months by a high school senior in India.
Cancer is a big problem and there is a need for major rehabilitation for children without disrupting their education.
Nanhe Farishtey a project conceived took 6 months from start to finish and it was showcased to the Chief Minister in India. This is no ordinary feat as an entire design was built based on a “human-centered” concepts that encompasses a hospital, school, old age home, garden, playground, businesses, and offices as an ecosystem.
