In 2011 four student inventors, Daniel Amante, Kelly Anderson, Amanda Harton, and Clara Tranthe received a $10,000 grant from the National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alliance to test the PuzzleCast’s effects on people who wore one for several weeks. The next step, they say, is to license the design to a manufacturer that can do clinical trials, develop more sizes and a version for legs, and bring the PuzzleCast to patients, possibly as soon as in the next three years.
