Fall Detection System for Smart City | Dr Steve Mung Wai-yin, Research Assistant Professor at the Research and Development Office | Falling in a private area can mean there is no immediate treatment, which can prove fatal. A smart fall detection system has been developed to detect people’s status in private areas, such as accessible toilets, and prevent delayed treatment. This originated system includes the server and on-site fall detection hardware which are connected by Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) technology. The hardware includes a microcontroller unit and two thermal sensors. The server can then calculate the data detected by the thermal sensor and send alert signals to the backend user for detection of abnormalities. | Gold Medal |
Audio-Tactile Chinese Characters: Bringing Multisensory & Novel Learning Experience to People with Visual Impairment and Special Needs | Dr Hung Keung, Associate Professor at the Department of Cultural and Creative Arts | Chinese radicals in several 3D tactile character models allow students to experience the structural formation of Chinese characters through touch and sound. This multi-sensory learning kit is designed to break visual and social learning barriers, especially for people with visual impairment or special needs. | Bronze Medal |
Nano-Sensor System for Meat and Seafood Monitoring | Professor Stephen Chow Cheuk-fai, Professor (Practice) at the Department of Science and Environmental Studies | A food monitoring device that offers a new and convenient way to monitor food safety, with a series of chemo sensors to detect the chemical substance released from rotting food. | Bronze Medal |
Rapid Quantification of Microplastics Using Total Organic Carbon Analysis with Simple Sample Pretreatment | Dr Tsang Yiu-fai, Associate Professor at the Department of Science and Environmental Studies | An all-in-one semi-automatic sample pre-treatment device that can efficiently and accurately quantify microplastic abundance in water and slug samples. | Bronze Medal |
