Cerebral Palsy sufferers create music with award-winning prototype

Cork’s hills are alive with the sound of music thanks to an innovative graduate who has developed a way for people with cerebral palsy to express themselves through music.

The project, undertaken by Cork Institute of Technology graduate James Fogarty, had a major victory this week at an international medical engineering competition held in London.

His work was named Best Undergraduate Medical Engineering Project at the Healthcare Technologies Awards.
