HONG KONG, Aug. 20 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) became champion in the Engineering Medical Innovation Global Competition, the world's first medical innovation challenge, with an award presentation ceremony held here Saturday.


Launched by CUHK, the competition aimed to promote the research and development of medical engineering and draw more talents to the field. University students from around the world were invited to design and develop clinically-driven and patient-centered technology innovations for the future of medicine and healthcare.


Out of the 40 submissions, 27 finalist teams from Canada, Britain, the United States, Switzerland, the Chinese Mainland, Singapore, South Korea, China's Taiwan, Saudi Arabia and China's Hong Kong were shortlisted and gathered at CUHK for the final contest from Aug. 18 to 19.


Prof. Joseph Sung, vice-chancellor and president of CUHK, said that the application of innovation technology in medical services has become a global trend. The launching of the competition helped to gather young talents from around the world and inspires innovative ideas on medical technologies for the sake of patients.


Participants of the competition must compete as part of a team and interdisciplinary teams with members from various engineering, science and other disciplines are encouraged. The scope of competition includes health screening and diagnostic devices, medical monitoring devices, non-implantable therapeutic devices and implantable therapeutic devices.


Submissions are screened by an international judging panel and there are six evaluation criteria, including clinical need, novelty, technical merit, demonstration of technical feasibility, clinical feasibility and translational readiness, and IP potential and business model.


The Gold Award went to a team formed by students from CUHK Mechanical and Automated Engineering and Surgery for their project on "Surgical Robotic System for Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection".


National University of Singapore's "EsoGlove: A Soft and Wearable Robotic Glove for Assistance and Rehabilitation of Hand-Impaired Patients" and ETH Zurich's "Assistive System for Intravitreal Therapy" won Silver Awards. Enditem

Summer may be coming to a close Cheap ArDarius Stewart Jersey , but that doesn't mean it's too late to think about a trend that's merging the green and the wet: natural pools. A natural pool is a man-made swimming pool that utilizes natural means of cleaning itself. Instead of utilizing chemicals, these pools are carefully designed around plants that act as filtration systems. Usually, a deeper swimming area is surrounded by a larger Cheap Marcus Maye Jersey , shallow area planted with plenty of water-loving plants. This water-garden area is called a regeneration zone, and a pump directs water from the swimming area through the garden zone to be filtered and cleaned by both the plants and a bed of gravel. The exact ratio of plants to size of pool and number of swimmers has been calculated by the professionals, allowing people to have completely chemical free yet safe swimming pools Cheap Jamal Adams Jersey , right in their own back yards.

The concept is the same as a lake. There are enough natural filters in place that the average lake, if not overwhelmed by a pollution source, is perfectly safe for multiple people to swim in it on a regular basis. Plants are very affective at absorbing organic matter Cheap Matt Forte Jersey , neutralizing toxins and releasing oxygen into the water, giving the owners of these natural pools mini-sanctuaries in the privacy of their own backyards.

One factor to consider about a natural pool, called a swimming pond in Europe Cheap Muhammad Wilkerson Jersey , is that it will need a larger footprint than the space you actually want for swimming. So these are most suited to larger yards. Typically, about half of the total area is the deeper swimming area and half is the water-garden area.

You will know if a natural pool is functioning properly because the water will be clear and luscious looking. Algae growth can occur, and is most common during the first year after the pool is developed. Once the plants grow and develop larger root systems Cheap Leonard Williams Jersey , they will starve the algae and the water will clear up. With the right balance of plants, and a functioning pump to circulate the water, there should be minimal to no algae growth Cheap Joe Namath Jersey , just crystal clear, pure water and that sweet smell of lake-water.

Natural pools have been gaining popularity in Europe over the past twenty years or so, but there are only a few companies building them in the United States. They are so different looking compared to what people expect a pool to be Wholesale New York Jets Hats , but the concept is taking off. It is no surprise that natural pools should become popular, as the "green" trend moves people away from things like chemicals and towards something like this that actually creates an ecosystem. Imagine attracting butterflies to your backyard swimming hole.

However one of the main obstacles to a natural swimming pool is zoning regulations. You will need a building permit to create one, and you might run into challenges from engineers and city officials who are unfamiliar with the concept. But referring them to the research done by the Kansas-based Total Habitat or California's Expanding Horizons will help.
