Kaavya Karthikeyan and Akanksha Tibrewala, best friends and classmates at Chantilly High School, invented an automated walker to assist people with Parkinson's and those who struggle to walk, the website said.
Two years ago, inspired by Tibrewala's great-grandmother who had Parkinson's disease, the two students began the project after notificing there were no automated walkers for people with disabilities, reports said.
The two girls are both passionate about biomedical engineering and have offered local patients the chance to test out the walking aid they designed, WJLA reported.
