Everything comes together on the night of Final Presentation, as our Campers showcased their efforts they've made over the semester. To freshen up your memories on our projects, here's a quick reminder:
- Improving diabetic retinopathy patient compliance in Indonesia
- Enhancing tippy-tap use in Cambodia
- Supporting myopathic patients with their daily activities in Hong Kong
- Healthy snack in Cambodian slums
- Fluorosis prevention in Guizhou
Teams had to present in front of a panel comprised of both internal and external experts, and we at SIGHT would like to thank them again for their time and comments, they are:
- Prof. Ying Chau, Founder of SIGHT (of course)
- Prof. I-Ming Hsing, Acting Head of Division of Biomedical Engineering
- Prof. Marshal YS Liu, Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering
- Mr. Simon Kan, Director of Gearing Enterprises Ltd.
- Mr. Peter Chung, Teaching Associate in Department of Computer Science and Engineering
- Prof. Steven Lee, Director of HKUST Entrepreneurship Center
- Prof. Roger Cheng, Associate Provost for Teaching and Learning
- Mr. Terry Lai, Vice Chairperson of Hong Kong Mucopolysaccaridoses and Rare Genetic Diseases Mutual Aid Group
- Prof. King Chow, Director of Interdisciplinary Programs Office
- Prof. Tom Luo, Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering
- Prof. Davis Bookhart, Head of Sustainability Unit
We are very glad that our Campers have risen to the challenge and presented many great ideas, including:
- An image-regconition and processing algorithm diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy using a smartphone-based funds camera
- A database system to keep track of diabetic retinopathy patients
- A joystick keyboard to allow myopathic patients type Chinese
- A soy milk snack alternative for kids in the Cambodian slums
- An improved stove to minimise fluoride contamination from cooking fumes
- Using Moringa seeds to purify fluoride-contaminated water
Despite all these great ideas, not all shall proceed to the next semester as SIGHT projects. So stay tuned to see which team is going to make it!
