MAGIC ARM Support

Challenge: Emma is 9 years old and, despite being in a wheelchair, she is pretty much unstoppable! Emma wanted something to facilitate her movement when she is eating or drawing.

Solution: Magic Arm is a passive arm designed to support eating without excessive help from her parents. The system was conceptualized during the HackaHealth hackathon, and further refined through the help of Emma's ergotherapist and a motivated team of geeks who participated in the hackathon.
