A team of five Year 2 Master in Occupational Therapy (MOT) students—Lau Shing Oh, Li Kin Ying, Wong Chung Yu Christopher, Tsui Wing Ki, and Un Ka Wai, supervised by Assistant Professor of Practice Ms Anita Ngan—has achieved remarkable success by winning the Silver Award at the Global Student Innovation Challenge during the 2024 International Convention on Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology (i-CREATe 2024).
Their innovative project, the "One-Hand-Clip," is an invention designed to empower individuals with unilateral upper limb impairment, such as those who have experienced a stroke or amputation, to independently clip their nails using only one hand. This low-cost, portable gadget showcases our students' ability to apply their classroom knowledge to create impactful real-life assistive solutions.
Our RS OT students’ consistent success at i-CREATe underscores their creativity and dedication. Please join me in congratulating the students for their outstanding achievement.
