The CAUPROTECT project, as a result of the collaboration agreement signed by the UJI, the Sergio García Foundation and the El CAU School-Association, is seeking ideas for designing a cranial protector with the aim of preventing injuries to users suffering sudden fainting or epileptic seizures.

Participants must be students or young professionals in design and engineering, aged between 18 and 35. The participation will be individual or in teams formed by a maximum of 4 people. Proposals can be submitted until 31 October 2019.

The jury, which will be responsible for evaluating the proposals once the deadline has expired, will be made up of professionals from different fields: José Vicente García Ortiz, technical coordinator of CAUPROTECT and lecturer at the Universitat Jaume I, a research team from the UJI participating in the project; Alba and Juan Rodríguez, psychologists specialising in patients with ASD and educators from the El Cau School-Association in the Castelló de la Plana; Sergio and Víctor García, from the Sergio García Foundation, and Ana del Villar, neurologist at Castelló General Hospital.

CAUPROTECT aims to dignify and improve the quality of life of people with disabilities through the conception, development and design of a non-invasive and reusable cranial protector to protect them against falls caused by their instability or epileptic seizures before the risk of suffering a traumatic brain injury (TBI).
