Julia DeMeritt, Ramsey High School, Ramsey, NJ
Project Title: Commun X – Emergent Medical Communications

The team is creating an Emergent Medical Communication System to overcome this shortcoming.

2nd Place:

Rebecca Xu, Middlesex County Academy for Allied Health and Biomedical Sciences

Project Title: Cast-On Comfort
The temperature of the environment where a fractured bone is healing can play a large factor in its healing process. Regulating the temperature around the cast can stabilize healing conditions and promote a faster and safer recovery. Cast-On is a temperature regulated waterproof cast sleeve that can do just that.
