BMEidea: A design competition for biomedical engineering students

The world needs more effective, functional and affordable technology solutions to clinical medical problems.

You can fast-track these solutions by entering BMEidea, the United States' leading competition for biomedical and bioengineering students. Cash prizes are available: the first place team wins $10,000; second place $2,500; and third place $1,000. Cash prizes will be disbursed to each of the winning team's departments to be allocated at the discretion of the faculty advisor.

BMEidea teams must have:

  •  A health-related technology
  •  Invented by students
  •  That addresses a real clinical need

Entries are judged on:

  • Technical, economic and regulatory feasibility
  • Contribution to human health and quality of life
  • Technological innovation
  • Potential for commercialization
