Three student teams from HKMU showcased their innovative and entrepreneurial spirit at the 11th Hong Kong University Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition, receiving recognition in various categories.
In the Innovation: Information Technology category, the team of Chui Tsz-ching, Yip On-tik, Lee Chak-yin and Eugene Wu Long-fung were awarded Third Prize. Their innovative solution was “smart subtitle glasses” for individuals with hearing impairments. Incorporating real-time speech-to-text transcription, text translation and sign language recognition functions, this augmented reality wearable device makes it easier for people with hearing problems to communicate in their daily lives, thus promoting social inclusion.
In the Innovation: Energy, Environmental and Chemical Engineering category, PhD student Sun Jing's innovative project also secured Third Prize. He developed a self-powered wearable electrochemical sensor that can detect lactate — a crucial marker of human physiological states — in real time through human sweat. The sensor uses a composite conductive hydrogel medium that has proved to be highly sensitive and selective in lactate detection, demonstrating considerable potential in monitoring and assessing human health.
In the Entrepreneurship: Startup category, a project by Liu Tsam-yi and Zhang Yongchao received a Merit Prize. They introduced a high-end experimental device for organoid cell culture to provide a more realistic physiological environment for drug screening and disease research. It uses high-precision 3D bioprinting technology to create bionic scaffolds and simulates the mechanical environment of human organs, such as muscles stretching and vasoconstriction, using precision controllers and sensor networks.
Organised by the Hong Kong New Generation Cultural Association since 2015, the Hong Kong University Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition is the largest competition of its kind in Hong Kong. This year, it received a record 687 project submissions from 2,033 participants representing 25 tertiary institutions.
