“The design contest solicits entries from student teams worldwide and is aimed at finding solutions that help keep people with cognitive impairments independent as long as possible.”

The final presentations are scheduled for April 2014 with judging by a panel of academics, industry professionals, nonprofit groups and investors.  The competition offers prizes, including the top prize of $10,000.
