Mohammed Al-Qassabi, Qatari
Information Systems student at Carnegie Mellon
University in Qatar, hopes to contribute to the sports world
with his Football Offside Detection System. The innovation uses
ultra-wide band tags embedded inside players' uniforms and the ball
to track their positions in real-time throughout the entirety of a
football match to ensure that offside calls are made
accurately.
Mugeb AlHarosh, Yemeni biomedical engineer, the proud
inventor of a Portable Renal Blood Flowmeter. The device functions
via non-invasive biosensors attached to the skin, diagnosing
preliminary kidney damage. With data uploaded to physicians through
wireless networks, the benefits include more efficient utilization
of resources by minimizing face-to-face consultations.
Ousama Kanawati, another finalist
hailing from Lebanon, earned a
spot in the Top 4 with his invention, a Wearable Omni Stethoscope
Vest. The device drastically impacts the way we monitor chronic
respiratory diseases – a threat posted to millions of patients
globally. This invention monitors patients' lungs by combining
numerous digital stethoscopes and wireless technology, conducting
analyses that it then sends to the attending physician's phone with
a warning if abnormalities are detected.
Riadh Abdelhedi, Tunisian PhD holder in electrical and
electronic engineering. He designed a Hybrid Power Bank, portable
power storage system that combines lithium-ion batteries and
supercapacitor technology, enabling it to charge up to full
capacity in a matter of minutes.
Stars of Science's Top 4 innovators will make the case for their
inventions in the Grand Finale, set to air on Friday, October 22, where the Jury deliberation
and online voting will determine the ranking and final share of the
$600,000 prize (terms and conditions
apply).
Online voting is now open for the public on
www.starsofscience.com and ends on Thursday, October 21, at 2:00pm GMT (5:00 pm
Doha time).
