HONORARY MENTION
Francela Gallo Camargo
This project is designed for people with motor disabilities and the elderly. It consists of 2 devices that are used for the seat belt. One serves to release the belt and the other works to bring it closer to the user. It records its use and give a reminder to use it. Its purpose is to give a feeling of independence and security since it makes easy the task of fastening and unbuckling the belt.
DIMS
Diego Camacho Ordaz
Medical consultation experience targeted at people with hearing disabilities, whose objective is to give independence to their translator, as well as to generate their own medical history. It consists of two main aspects: a mobile app that simulates the different phases of a medical consultation through a symbolic language, and a rotating base for interaction between patient, mobile and doctor.
FLEX
Ana Luisa Arias Romero
This device can be integrated into any wheelchair so that people with motor disability can exercise their legs autonomously at three different levels: basic, intermediate and advanced. The exercise will be carried out, since when the person displaces the chair, the leg will imitate the circular movement of the wheel.r
HERMEL
Lizeth Reyna Ramos
Hermell is a device designed for the visual disability people. It has 3 functions: a button to record the voice, a volcanic that keeps the user selected smell and a QR code to be scanned in stores; together they help with garment recognition so that users can have more options when dressing.
TOUCH ATTIRE
Sara Castro Nieto
This set of buttons with different textures and its applicator has the objective that people with visual disabilities can create sets or simply identify what pattern or color their clothes have. The applicator is small and allows you to put the buttons safely so that they do not fall unexpectedly.
