BME student team needs your help! Spinal Cord Injury Patents need your help!

Augment Medical, an NCSU/UNC BME student led spinout company has been selected as a top-20 finalist for an Intel Innovator award! The company is developing communication systems for severe spinal cord injury patients.

To move on and have a chance at up to a $100,000 award, support is needed on Facebook to vote them in the top 5 of the finalists.

Here’s what to do: On your Facebook page, open up the “Intel Innovators” application. You will have to allow it (sorry! But you can remove it as soon as you are done if you like). You are given a certain number of points to “invest.”

On the tab with the 20 finalists, find PatientLink, Augment Medical’s project. Please invest all of your points.

You can also quickly double your investment if you simply click the video links on up to 10 ideas. You don’t have to watch the whole video, but you will get additional points for doing this, which will double the amount you have to invest (up to 20,500 on the 1st day and 10,500 each successive day).

You can repeat this process daily until December 19.

Thank you for helping!
