Rice University’s Design-A-Thon Focused on Assistive Devices


Team 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 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.
