UMBC’s 9th annual Idea Competition took place this week. The competition offers students from all fields an opportunity to present business ideas to a panel of expert judges and receive immediate feedback on moving from vision to reality. The ideas presented this year ranged from technology to make schools safer from physical threats to wearable technologies that can help people in their daily activities.
In this week's roundup, we take a look at how wearable devices are improving the lives of heart patients. We also take a look at a Maryland-based company acquired by Google, the perception of time, and a way to fight Alzheimer's.
