A team of DBME students participated in the Biomedical Engineering Society (Singapore) (BES) 5th Scientific Meeting (BES5SM) for the 1st time @ NTU on the 28th May 2011 (Sat) and clinched a Merit Award under the Poster Section Category. Joining 4 other participating teams from the School of Applied Science (SAS), our SAS teams also got a Merit and a Distinction award under the same category. One of the SAS team also clinched a Bronze in the technical section. Overall, it’s a happy day with all winners!
Our students’ participating project was titled : “ Wireless Low Cost Heart Rate Monitoring”. It is useful for doctors and nurses to monitor multiple patient’s heart rate in real-time as well as to plot a 2 x probes electrocardiogram (ECG) waveform if an abnormal heart rate is detected. Despite of the UT week that have just past, our students put in their best to impress the judges. Special thanks to Hisham who came to support us on this day.

Our small, lightweight & plaster-liked prototypes on display was impressive.
Heart-rate and ECG waveform is easily shown on the laptop for all to see.
