Susan, thank you so much for your congrats and encouragement. I am elated to be recognized alongside all of these amazing and sophisticated ideas. The experience of participating in the challenge was rewarding enough but this is icing on the cake!

Thank you, Heribert, for your kind words. We are still in the finals phase. If selected, I hope to continue developing this idea. We shall see!

This is wonderful, Susannah.  After flying down to help my mother with a tiny stress fracture in June, both she and I were very surprised by the "loneliness of recovery" as you call it.  I think this loneliness is really what's at the heart of the matter with recovery from bone injuries for anyone, let alone older adults.  I love that you are addressing those feelings of isolation.
