Most of the projects created by the seniors in this year’s biomedical engineering capstone design course integrate technology to help individuals with disabilities perform functions that might otherwise be difficult or impossible.

Here were the 10 projects and team members.
Brain-Computer Interface Music Player: Thao Pham, Michaela Roberts, Luis Rodriguez
Virtual Reality Prosthesis: Ben Johnson, Patricia Adegboyega, Ciara French
Head Motion: Mo Shawa, Morgan Morrow, Jessie Driscoll
Brain-Computer Interface Robot: Tate Blazonis, Alexander Matkowski, Temitope Aina

Smart e-Textile: Emily Gautreaux, Emma Hill, Afnan Altekreeti
Smart Glove Motion: Dana Carey, Quinn Toro, Alexander Collins

Virtual Reality Shoe: Kellen Waters, Matt Kutcher, Samantha Johnson, Caroline Kroon

The judges who evaluated the projects were:
Micheal Katz, URI 
Jim Owens, Nautilus Defense
Deedee Chatam, URI Launch Lab
Professor Manbir Sodhi, URI

The two teams that received the highest scores from the judges were the ones who designed the Head Motion device and the Virtual Reality Shoe. The winning students received Rocketbooks (scannable and reusable notebooks).

Some of the groups and projects are pictured below, along with the winning teams.
