Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES)

Every day, firefighters and first responders step into dangerous situations to protect our communities. The UMKC Biomedical Engineering Society Student Design Team is developing the next generation of technology that could help protect them in return. Last year, our team won the Medtronic BMES Student Design Competition with NeuroPass, a neuro-personal alert safety system designed to support firefighters and first responders in high-stress situations. Your donation will help students purchase materials, improve prototypes, test new ideas, and continue building technology with real-world purpose. This is more than a student project. It is an investment in future biomedical engineers, safer communities, and ideas that could one day help someone come home safely. Donate today and help turn the next breakthrough into reality.

Our campaign is for anyone who believes in supporting students, protecting first responders, and creating technology that can make a real difference. This includes UMKC alumni, families, friends, health care workers, engineers, first responders, local businesses, and community members who want to invest in the next generation of innovators.

Any amount makes an impact and helps KC students turn biomedical engineering ideas into real solutions for our community.

✅ $15 funds small parts like wires, connectors, and testing supplies.
✅ $25 helps us build and test early prototypes.
✅ $50 supports tools and materials to improve our biomedical designs.
✅ $100 advances projects like NeuroPass, our award-winning safety system for first responders.
