BrainGurion 7.0
Resilient Mind in Emergency Times
24 Hours, 100 driven students.
Together, our participants will prototype breakthrough solutions that fortify our resilience by cutting‑edge crisis response strategies. Pushing the very limits of human adaptability, they’ll explore what’s possible when rigorous preparation meets unprecedented adversity. Guided by top‑tier emergency management experts and armed with vital response tools, each team will turn bold ideas into actionable survival protocols when every second counts.
The Challenge
Within 24 hours, you and your teammates will design, prototype, and pitch a product that measurably upgrades the mental resilience in emergency times.
The neurological component can be expressed by control of the product or feedback. The product can be digital or physical, and may be supported by a combination of technologies, such as EEG, Virtual Reality (VR), Microcontrollers and Robots.
Inspiration Board
ביקשנו ממומחים בתחומי הנוירו-טכנולוגיה והבריאות הנפשית לספר לנו על אתגרים שבהם הם נתקלים בשטח, מהשימוש במכשירים רגישים ועד לניהול סביבת הטיפול, ולאחר Brainstorming ;) משותף העלינו לכם פה מספר פתרונות כלליים שבתקווה יעניקו לכם השראה לפיתוח במהלך ההאקתון:
-
עזרה לצוותים רפואים במצבי עומס: פתרון תחזוקה יעיל, מהיר ודיסקרטי לאביזרי מדידה רגישים שצריכים לשמור על רמת ניקיון גבוהה מאוד (ניקיון ברמה הטכנית, כמו ג'ל מוליך שקשה לשטוף אותו מאלקטרודות).
-
פיתוח אביזרים נוחים וידידותיים למשתמש, שאינם מרגישים כ"מכשירים רפואיים" ומאפשרים תנועה חופשית וניידות.
-
כלים טכנולוגיים שמקלים על עומס העבודה של צוותי טיפול ומאפשרים להם להתמקד במטופל ולא בטכניקה.
-
חיישנים בעלי יכולת קביעות עצמית (Self-calibration) המתאימים את עצמם לאנטומיה של המשתמש או לסביבה באופן אוטומטי.
