An article in the Buffalo News reports a UB student team was among five finalists in a state Department of Health Aging Innovation Challenge, a crowdsource contest developed with HeroX to help older adults with daily activities.
The team, called mRehab, received $5,000 for its design of a device using 3D printing and mobile smartphone technology as part of an in-home upper limb rehabilitation tool for eating self-management across the lifespan for those with limitations.
mRehab student team members are Chen Song and Zhengxiong Li, doctoral candidates in computer science and engineering; and senior computer science and engineering majors Matthew Stafford and Zhuolin Yang.
