About

Olivia Jefferies, Junior Device Development Engineering Student, Oval Medical Technologies, is pursuing studies in Product Design Engineering (MEng) at Loughborough University (UK). Her academic advisors there are Yang Liu (Senior Lecturer in Healthcare Engineering) and Simin Li (Senior Lecturer in Mechanics of Biomaterials). She is passionate about solving design engineering problems with innovative and advanced solutions that help improve the lives of others. Her recent project at Oval involved studying the effects of topical pressure on the compression of tissue structures using finite element analysis (FEA).

COMPUTATIONAL MODELLING OF INJECTION-RELATED TISSUE RESPONSES IN DRUG DELIVERY

Olivia Jefferies, Elizabeth Margerison and Asmita Khanolkar introduce Oval’s work on using ultrasound scanning and finite element analysis to construct a model of how tissue compresses under use of an autoinjector across patient demographics, and how this may provide insights into improved autoinjector design for more accurate injection depths, improving patient outcomes.
