HONG KONG, May 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has won 3 prestigious awards for global innovation in the fields of synthetic intelligence (AI), tissue science and biotechnology at the TechConnect World Innovation Conference and Expo 2022 (TechConnect): the world’s largest multi-sector occasion to foster progress and commercialization of innovations.
This is the sixth consecutive year that PolyU’s study groups have won the most prestigious awards among top-ranked innovators, and PolyU is the higher education establishment in Hong Kong that will be revered this year.
PolyU’s award-winning inventions come with an AI-based chest X-ray imaging strategy for clinical programs and an automatic mask with temperature control. 19 pandemic.
PolyU’s other popular innovation is a new fabric that absorbs moisture and eliminates perspiration that is more environmentally friendly. The 3 inventions are among 70 technologies awarded through leading establishments around the world, such as U. S. National Laboratories. U. S. and other leading universities.
Professor Christopher Chao, Vice President (Research and Innovation) at PolyU, said: “The University is very pleased that our study groups continue to bring award-winning, high-quality technologies to the world and have been identified on this global occasion for the 6th consecutive year. PolyU has undertaken strategic projects to build an ecosystem I
At the TechConnect World Innovation Conference
Details of PolyU’s 3 inventions include:
Quantitative research of chest radiography and AI-assisted computed tomography for the control of patients with COVID-19 (Prof. Jing CAI, Department of Technology and Health Informatics)
Enhanced AI techniques for COVID-19 clinical programs provide accurate and affordable imaging responses for COVID-19 diagnosis, severity stratification, and prognosis. segmentation and analysis of multiple views. Its maximum accessibility will gain advantages in countries that do not have the resources to diagnose and monitor COVID-19 as it should be.
Multilayer polylactic acid and production generation that absorbs moisture and releases perspiration (Prof. Hong HU, Institute of Textiles and Clothing)
The new fabric differs from the existing generation of moisture-absorbing fabrics in that its production strategy is simpler, less expensive and more environmentally friendly. Using double weft fabric generation, only one production procedure is needed to produce the new fabric design with improved moisture absorption. and sweat-releasing properties. It also has inherent biological strength and is ideal for use in school uniforms and sportswear.
Omni-Cool-Breath: An Air-Conditioned Mask (Dr. Dahua SHOU, Professor FAN Jintu and Dr. HUANG Guanghan, Institute of Textiles and Clothing)
Omni-Cool-Breath is the first automatic mask with temperature control that provides revolutionary access to a completely new breath throughout the day and thermal comfort in activities and thermal conditions. It reduces temperature up to 12°C and humidity up to 65% under low voltage through a cut edge miniature thermoelectric cooling system. The ergonomically designed lightweight mask uses biodegradable, skin-friendly 3D printing fabrics that allow the wearer to enjoy nine hours of clean air.
