The ALS Association and Prize4Life's are happy to anounce the launch of a new program to promote ALS technology development- the ALS Assistive Technology Challenge- a program focused around accelerating the development of communication technologies for locked in patients with development funds of over $500,000.

In the challenge, open until July 29, teams can participate in a $400,000 challenge to develop a prototype that will enable communication for ALS patients. The top finalists will be invited to present their prototype in December 2016 in Dublin where the award winner will be selected. You can read about it more here.
