      Hmmm...I thought this would be about heart problems in people with Down syndrome, but this gives me another idea. Maybe I could go in another direction, but I'll have to make sure that works for this particular assignment. It would be interesting to know about these "exciting advances in therapy to improve cognitive function in people with DS"

      They didn't expect my uncle to live past the age of 12, but he lived to be 49. He had a huge influence on my development as a person.

      My uncle had Down syndrome and died of complications from a heart defect. I'm interested in current and future treatments or advancements in this area that use engineering.

      I think I might want to do this one, because if they can get a cure then they could stop all these deaths.

  • 2013 Engineering: Essential to Our Health Contest Description It is hard to imagine what the world would be like without modern medicine. Doctors today have a wealth of tools at their disposal to combat human suffering. From complex robotic surgical suites that enable surgeons to operate on patients thousands of miles away to simple storage mechanisms for vaccines in the developing world, engineering and technology are central to the way we fight disease. There have been many successes on the road to a healthier planet, but many battles are still left to fight. The following five diseases are considered the leading causes of death throughout the world today*: Heart disease Stroke Influenza (and other lower respiratory infections) Emphysema (or COPD) Diarrhea
