Program accomplishments
- HARDWARE PARK ADVANCED THEIR NEXT GENERATION (NEXTGEN) PROGRAM THAT PROVIDED FUNDING FOR 3 COHORTS OF INTERNS IN 2024. THE SPRING COHORT WAS 12 WEEKS AND INCLUDED 12 PART-TIME INTERNS AND CARRIED OUT INITIAL RESEARCH AND DESIGN FOR OD REVIVE, A BIRMINGHAM-BASED CONCEPT-STAGE STARTUP. THE FOUNDER OF OD REVIVE CAME TO THEM WITH AN IDEA FOR A WEARABLE DEVICE THAT COULD BE USED TO DETECT SYMPTOMS OF AN OPIOID OVERDOSE AND SEND ALERTS TO A NETWORK OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY WHEN THE SYMPTOMS WERE INDICATIVE OF AN OVERDOSE. THE SUMMER COHORT WAS 8 WEEKS AND INCLUDED 10 FULL-TIME INTERNS. ONE TEAM WORKED FOR A COMPANY IN MONTGOMERY TO DESIGN A NEW, MORE FUNCTIONAL VERSION OF A WEARABLE DEVICE USED IN BEHAVIORAL CARE FACILITIES. THE OTHER TEAM (ACCESSIRISE) TACKLED A PROBLEM STATEMENT FROM THE ALABAMA DEPARTMENT OF REHABILITATION SERVICES. THEY DEVELOPED A TRULY PORTABLE WHEELCHAIR RAMP THAT COULD ATTACH TO A WHEELCHAIR AND BE DEPLOYED BY USERS WHO STILL HAVE REASONABLE UPPER-BODY MOBILITY AND STRENGTH. THE FALL COHORT WAS 12 WEEKS AND INCLUDED 10 PART-TIME INTERNS. ONE 3-PERSON TEAM (ENDOSWIPE) WORKED TO CREATE A MECHANISM TO CLEAN THE LENS OF AN ENDOSCOPE DURING A PROCEDURE. ANOTHER 4-PERSON TEAM WORKED WITH A CONCEPT-STAGE STARTUP THAT HAD JUST WON ALABAMA LAUNCHPAD'S CONCEPT STAGE COMPETITION.Expenses $328,449
