Winners of the inaugural BME idea competition were announced in June, during the Medical Design Excellence Awards (MDEA) ceremony at the Medical Design & Manufacturing (MD&M) East exposition in New York City.

The BMEidea competition recognizes excellence in student biomedical innovation. Winning teams at this year's competition were selected from a pool of entries submitted by some of the nation's top biomedical engineering departments, and were judged by a panel of faculty and industry representatives.
