Research Manitoba was proud to participate again in this year's Falling Walls Lab in Winnipeg, Manitoba, as both a sponsor and judge. This year, the winning researcher was Saba M.Kolahdouz who presented their concept for a wrist-worn wearable designed for stroke patients to support recovery during the first three months after discharge. The event brought together an exceptional group of researchers from across institutions to share breakthrough ideas and innovative solutions addressing some of today's most pressing challenges. We extend our congratulations to the organizing committee and all of the presenters for an exciting event that showcases the unique and creative problem-solving abilities of researchers in the prairies. We are already looking forward to next year's event!
