http://www.medgadget.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/tools.jpgTeam Fab Assistants developed a single-handed solution for drawing medication with a syringe and self-administering.
Rice University just hosted the first In**vate Design-A-Thon (http://oedk.rice.edu/Design-A-Thon) focused on creating devices to help disabled people lead more independent lives. Students from Rice, as well as*University of Houston, and the University of Texas at Dallas participated in the event. Modeled on popular hackathons that are focused on software, the In**vate Design-A-Thon was created to give attention to assistive devices that can **w be quickly prototyped and manufactured.
One team developed a syringe that can be used with one hand to both draw the medication and to administer it on yourself.
A**ther project was the AFORD, an Ankle-Foot Orthosis Retention Device, that controls how the foot swings for people with poor lower body control. It’s made to be easy to slip a foot into and latch close with one hand so that the very people that need such a device can easily use it on their own.
