BALTIMORE - Newswise disclosed three Johns Hopkins University (JHU) undergraduates designed two custom computer desks for a health-care educator who has disabilities, helping her to work from home.  The desks allow Joy Goldberger to lead seminars and to write professionally with greater ease and flexibility.  One desk provides handier access to paper files and computer equipment when Goldberger works from her bed.  The second desk, a rolling metal cart with a laptop computer, allows her to work in other parts of her home.  The students linked their client's two computers with a wireless communication system that allows her to access data on either unit without cable connections.  Goldberger has a progressive neurodegenerative disease that has led to diminished strength, coordination, and stamina, requiring her to use a wheelchair or crutches and to spend extended time in a semi-reclined position.  She continues to train health-care workers to assist parents of children with life-threatening illnesses.  "Most of what I do involves a computer," she said.  "I've been trying to work with as little physical effort as possible."  Goldberger was referred to Volunteers for Medical Engineering (VME).  She asked VME if it could provide a computer desk that would make it easier for her to work from home.  VME referred the project to students in the Engineering Design Project course offered by the JHU Dept. of Mechanical Engineering.
