Researcher Rawan Ahmed from Benha University's Faculty of Engineering has developed an innovative medical device called "Pre-Session Chat" with an American grant. The device aims to increase accuracy in injection and fluid extraction procedures, particularly in delicate cases like heart fluid extraction or injections near nerves. This allows doctors to control the procedure with one hand.

Rawan Ahmed highlighted the challenges of downsizing the device to the size of a pen while integrating all its engineering components. She emphasized that Egyptian private universities, like Benha University, provide a valuable addition to the higher education system with modern facilities and distinguished teaching staff. Ahmed also noted that Mechatronics engineering, which combines mechanical, electrical, and computer sciences, is a promising field tied to rapid advancements in robotics and artificial intelligence.

The device is still in the development stage, with ongoing legal and regulatory procedures in the United States before its potential introduction in Egypt and other countries. Rawan Ahmed's work is part of a broader effort to enhance medical technology and improve healthcare outcomes. Her research focuses on addressing specific medical challenges through innovative engineering solutions.

The development of the "Pre-Session Chat" device showcases the potential for interdisciplinary research, combining engineering and medical expertise to create practical solutions. This approach has the potential to transform medical procedures, making them more precise and efficient. By collaborating with medical professionals, engineers can design devices that meet specific clinical needs.

Rawan Ahmed's achievement demonstrates the growing capabilities of Egyptian researchers in developing innovative medical technologies. Her work, supported by an American grant, reflects the international collaboration and knowledge exchange that can drive medical progress. The development of such devices can have a significant impact on patient care and treatment outcomes.

The introduction of new medical devices like "Pre-Session Chat" can contribute to Egypt's healthcare sector development. By enhancing the accuracy and safety of medical procedures, such innovations can improve patient care and treatment outcomes. This, in turn, can lead to better health outcomes and more efficient healthcare services.

As Rawan Ahmed's device moves forward, it may pave the way for further innovations in medical technology. The intersection of engineering and medicine offers numerous opportunities for breakthroughs that can transform healthcare. With continued investment in research and development, Egyptian researchers can make significant contributions to the global medical community.
