Designers, engineers, and problem solvers in general are all invited to participate in the VA’s Innovation Creation Series for Prosthetics and Assistive Technology. The goal of the program, launched in May, is to come up with creative ways to help veterans and civilians with amputations, tremors, and other disabilities navigate daily life more easily.

Although the deadline to submit proposed solutions has passed, the Creation Series will culminate on July 28 to 29 during a 2-day “Make-a-thon” event at Hunter Holmes VA Medical Center in Richmond, Virginia. There, designs submitted by the public will be built and tested, including creating a medication pill box that allows the flexibility to hold medications that need to be taken up to 8 times a day with a reminder system for each time medication needs to be taken. Another challenge is to design a device that remotely changes the speed and grip strength of a prosthetic device for veterans with upper extremity injuries.
