Riley Saban lives with cerebral palsy, which makes him difficult to perform certain tasks and unable to be independent. Riley was being evaluated by an eye tracking device (through which he also communicates).

That said, his friend and biomedical engineer, Jordan Nguyen, promised to help him by trying to create a device that would give him "telekinetic control", through a band that will respond to the movement of his eyes.

With the appearance of the new coronavirus, humanity was forced to adapt to a new reality. In China, the new coronavirus has infected more than 81,000 people and claimed at least 3259 lives.

Bai Ying, Chinese father of a newborn, afraid that the baby would contract the virus, decided to create a safety capsule where the baby could be transported. "It's very inconvenient when you have to take your child to places that don't have fresh air, like the hospital," Bai Ying said.

Nico Iemma, a 9 year old child with cerebral palsy, has never been able to use a computer alone because he cannot bring his hands together. "I had to ask someone to write for me, which was a bit difficult," Nico said.

That said, and due to the frustration felt that there are no computers that his son would be able to use, Patrick Iemma, Nico's father, decided to get down to business and create it himself.

Oscar Constanza, 16, was born with a genetic neurological condition that prevents him from walking. Oscar, driven by the desire to one day be able to walk, asked his father, Jean-Louis Constanza, a robotic engineer, to help him.

The exoskeleton is an outer frame that supports and simulates body movement. This device attaches to the shoulders, chest, waist, knees and feet and is activated with the command "Robot, stand up".

In 2011, Gilda Heath was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, placing her in a motorized wheelchair. For this reason, Gilda found it more difficult to do simple tasks and so sought help and found engineering students at the University of Victoria willing to help.

So Kim Arklie and Jacquie Moreland, who had already worked on projects together, decided to team up again to create Mobilarm, leading a team of seven biomedical engineering students.

Mobilarm is a device capable of connecting to electric wheelchairs and helping users carry items, including groceries.

In 2002, 14-year-old Elizabeth Smart was kidnapped and held captive, prompting Patrick Bertagna to think "What if we had tracking devices in our shoes?" That said, Patrick moved forward with this project, thus becoming the world's first wearable GPS technology company.

Currently, despite the idea having arisen due to another context, Patrick's greatest motivation is the millions of people with Alzheimer's, dementia, autism or traumatic brain injuries who have a memory disorder and, for that reason, tend to get lost .

John Williams, professor and engineer at Colorado State University, has spent much of his career designing electric propulsion systems for space travel and ended up being exposed to a lot of noise that damaged his cochlea, affecting its ability to listen to high frequencies. This diagnosis led Williams to become interested in cochlear implants and sensory substitution.

Therefore, with the collaboration of a Mechanical Engineering student at the university, J.J. Moritz, he created a device that allows people with hearing impairments to be able to "hear" through the tongue.

Elias Fizesan, winner of two silver medals by FJSL and I-FEST2, found that 1 in 3 asthmatic patients is misdiagnosed and is taking medication unnecessarily. That said, he created a device that, using algorithms, can diagnose asthmatic patients.

This device is placed on the chest of a patient whose doctor suspects they may have asthma and is able to monitor the patient's respiratory vibrations and diagnose them by analyzing these vibrations using some algorithms.
