(WIVT/WBGH) - Two Binghamton University students have won a six-figure prize for an invention they created to help healthcare providers.Seniors Joshua Ackerman and Yoav Reshef created Lucent EMS Solutions.The invention is a body-worn camera that records and visually automates the process of completing paperwork.They won second prize at the Empire State Development and FuzeHub invention competition in Buffalo, and were awarded $110,000.Prior to that, they won the grand prize of $25,000 from the New York Business Plan competition in Rochester.Both students are EMTs with BU's student-run ambulance Harpur's Ferry and say their invention makes the paperwork process go from about an hour to less than 10 minutes."We don't like the documentation after a call, we really enjoy taking the 911 and the EMS calls, but we don't like the documentation aspect," Ackerman says. "So, before we even were thinking of a business opportunity, we were just thinking of a way to better our documentation for ourselves and our crews."Ackerman says winning is validation that the invention is something they can scale and bring to market.He says they received tremendous support from the university."Seeing that people believe in our idea and believe in the mission that we have, it's really incredible," Reshef says. "I really don't view it as like a student project, I view it as a real thing, a real business, and a real tool that EMTs and paramedics can use to improve the field."Reshef says they plan to use the funding received to continue enhancing and building out the technology to hopefully have pilot programs on ambulances within the next year.Copyright 2026 Nexstar Media, Inc.
