Helmet 127 is a series of integrated safety features developed for bicycle helmets. Since mountain biking and dirt biking is often done in remote areas, even small injuries can become severe if left unattended. Thus, Helmet 127 intelligently utilizes gyroscopes and accelerometers to detect and log dangerous impacts. Impacts above a certain threshold will prompt the system to send a distress message to emergency services using satellite communication with user authorization. Users will also be able to view impact data through an NFC connection.

Keeping track of pill medications is tedious! Nearly half of Canadians do not correctly take their medication according to schedule, which could lead to severe health consequences. To address this problem, we present PillAgenda! PillAgenda is a small appliance that stores and automatically dispenses pills for individuals in need. The pill dispenser can hold up to seven types of pills, is easy to use with a built-in touch screen, and manages users' daily pill schedules in a hassle-free way.

People affected by many conditions such as ALS, Cerebral Palsy, Multiple Sclerosis, and more may find themselves affected by a symptom called Foot Drop. Foot Drop is a neuromuscular disorder that prevents the individual from lifting their toes, making it nearly impossible to walk normally. SimuStep is a wearable biomedical device that allows patients suffering from foot drop to walk on their own again! Using functional electrical stimulation, SimuStep allows the patient to use their own muscles again in a discrete and comfortable way.

People with diabetes are at risk of falling due to reduced nerve function in their feet, which can reduce their quality of life. Clinical assessments can only be performed intermittently, which motivates the design of a continuous gait monitoring system to assess fall risk for diabetic neuropathy patients. We develop a wearable system that passively measures the dynamics of the patient's lower extremities during walking, stair climbing, and other activities. This allows fall risk to be assessed without requiring the wearer to alter their lifestyle.

ThermoForce’s focus is the inclusion of low-cost novel VR feedback. In our case that means both temperature and weight feedback, using IR hand tracking, resistive heaters, a Peltier plate, and a motor force feedback system. The above is designed to be worn comfortably by the user, with no restriction in movement ability.
