The 20th Annual BME Bio-Tech Contests 2018 took  place February 10, 2018. This year's theme of the contest was to develop and present a concept using Electrical, Electronic, Biomedical, and/or Electro-Optics to assist a persons' disability - or to improve a persons' ability to manage tasks that usually require assistance. The contest focus is on students' individual ideas and in particular, the contest provides a forum for these future engineers to share those ideas that focus on technology assisted care.
