Medical Engineering Hackathon

It was a pleasure to organize this year's medical engineering hackathon! Within one week, medical students of ETH Zurich engineered a gripper for a model exoskeleton using newly acquired knowledge in prototyping, electronics, programming, and CAD. Remarkable concepts were developed and tested in a CYBATHLON-inspired competition.

Best Paper Award for Marie Georgarakis and Yves Zimmermann

Marie Georgarakis and Yves Zimmermann were honoured with the 2022 Best Paper Award by IEEE Transaction on Medical Robotics and Bionics for their publication entitled “Supporting and Stabilizing the Scapulohumeral Rhythm with a Body- or Robot-Powered Orthosis”. The orthosis described in the paper and also patented assists the scapula on its physiological movement path by coupling the scapulothoracic rotation with the elevation of the arm.
