Silver Award at the 6^th China International College Students' "Internet +" Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition

Research student from the Department of Computing, Jackal Xu, and his teammates won the Silver Award at the 6^th China International College Students' "Internet +" Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition with their project named "Dr. Body", which aims to provide teens with flexible and convenient screening, diagnosis and tracking on their postures.

The body images collected from offline scanning will be first analysed through image processing and algorithmic calculus. Then a three-dimensional body model is reconstructed and matched against the medical clinical parameters for health analysis. "Dr. Body" is a radiation-free and one-stop Internet of Things (IoT) platform that could achieve preliminary body posture assessment, suggest the need for rehabilitation and customise follow up services with a health management app.
