(BPT) - The James Dyson Award is an international design award that celebrates, encourages and inspires the next generation of design engineers annually. This year, Sangyu Xi has been named the U.S. winner for her Airy design, a repositionable scoliosis brace that adolescent patients can wear comfortably and confidently. Sangyu plans to use the prize money to bring on a machine learning engineer to further develop the Airy app and an orthopedic mentor to help bring Airy to market.
