Gogoa Prize 2024: The MedTech Design Challenge – Deadline
May 30
Attention Spanish innovators and creators: The Gogoa Prize 2024 MedTech Design Challenge registration deadline is May 30th, 2024!
Who can participate:
This friendly competition is open to students of any discipline of Engineering and Technology who are pursuing a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Postgraduate studies from 2023-2024. The competition is focused on Spain, but it doesn’t hurt to reach out to the organizers and confirm language and regional guidelines and limitations. You can participate individually or in teams of up to 4 people.
The challenge:
Design of an exoskeleton to assist the motor skills of the elderly. Do you think medical exoskeletons are too expensive or too slow? How would you approach them? For example, we (ExR) have seen companies like Seismic use coiled ropes to bypass the need for transmission to transform high-speed low-torque rotation to low-speed high-torque linear movement, which is not too different from a Roman catapult. It doesn’t have to be a high-tech, complicated idea for it to be good!

Announced is a  €1,000+ award from Gogoga Mobility Robots, in addition to a communication blast by the company for the winner or winning team!
Will you participate in Cybathlon 2024, the ASTM ExoGames 2024, or the Gogoa Challenge!? This year is full of opportunities for students to make a difference and be recognized in the field of wearable robotics!
