Kath Bogie

Kath Bogie is an Associate Professor in the Department of Orthopaedics at Case Western Reserve University's School of Medicine. Her work spans Biomedical Engineering and Orthopaedics, focusing on pressure injury prevention, wound healing, and spinal cord injury management. She leads research in biomaterials, electroceutical therapies, and neuromuscular stimulation. Her email is kath.bogie@case.edu, and she is affiliated with both the School of Medicine and School of Engineering through Biomedical Engineering initiatives.

Research interests include developing wearable bioelectronics, genomic biomarkers for wound risks, and clinical tools like the SCIPUD+ system. Her studies often involve porcine models, sensor technology, and interdisciplinary collaborations to address chronic wound challenges. Recent work emphasizes predictive informatics for personalized care and biomimetic implantable stimulators.

Publications highlight advancements in flexible sensors, strain measurement systems, and electroceutical therapies. Her work bridges clinical needs with engineering innovations, particularly in spinal cord injury rehabilitation and pressure ulcer prevention. She has contributed to guideline updates (e.g., WHS pressure ulcer protocols) and patent filings for medical devices.

Bogie collaborates across departments, integrating tissue health biomarkers, vascular monitoring, and patient-centric technologies. She has pioneered adaptive wheelchair cushions and foot displacement sensors to improve mobility safety for individuals with spinal injuries.
