AwareNurse Wonderland (2024)

Looi Jun Yang, Diploma in Game Development & Technology
Liv Lim Jia Wei, Angelyn Boonlertsap, Ting Tze Chin Rena, Diploma in Digital Game Art & Design

 

Developed by NYP students in collaboration with nurses from KK Women's and Children's Hospital (KKH), this educational game effectively refreshes knowledge of KKH-specific procedures while fostering engagement, skill retention, and practical application. By emphasising practical application, it equips nurses with the essential skills needed to excel in real-world healthcare settings. This collaborative effort not only enhances learning but also strengthens the connection between education and professional practice.

 

This game has been incorporated into KKH's orientation for final-year nursing students and has received positive feedback.

GaitVision (2024)

Worajak Tangcharoen, Leo Zuo Yuan, Goh Jun Hao
Diploma in Biomedical Engineering

 

GaitVision is an AI-based system designed to prevent falls in healthcare settings. Utilising pose estimation technology integrated with CCTVs, it monitors and analyses patient gait in real-time, identifying potential fall risks and alerting medical staff promptly. This approach eliminates the need for wearable sensors, thereby enhancing patient safety and comfort. 

 

The team is also exploring opportunities to expand GaitVision's applications to benefit the larger community.

  • Tey Jia Ying, Derrick Png Teck Guan, Edison Choo

    School of Information Technology

     

    This voting system, developed using blockchain technology, enhances processes in both public elections and private Annual General Meetings (AGMs). By eliminating human intervention and ensuring the immutability and traceability of votes, it significantly boosts transparency, security, and efficiency. The system also reduces costs and strengthens voter authentication. The project has received positive feedback from key stakeholders, including the Singapore Elections Department and several CEOs of private-listed companies. In recognition of its innovation and scalability, the system was awarded the LHL-IDM Award in 2022.

    This mobile app leverages artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things to empower individuals with visual disabilities. By providing real-time audio descriptions of their surroundings, the app greatly enhances mobility and independence. One of the presenters, who has a visual disability, explained the solution from an end-user's perspective, building strong empathy with the judges.

  • Keith Tan, Wong Ying Shun, Ryan Chua Cheng Feng

    School of Information Technology

     

    A collaboration with hospitals and healthcare agencies, this app harnesses the power of crowdsourcing to help caregivers locate missing dementia patients. Caregivers can post vital details about the missing individual – such as his photo, age, and attire – and registered volunteers receive immediate notifications to assist in the search.

  • Chu Jia Hao, Jasmine Cheong Shan, Li Yuan Xin

    School of Information Technology, School of Business Management 

     

    This app is the result of a collaboration with NTUC Corporation to support their Share-a-Book initiative, which is centered around book swapping. It allows users to browse and select books more easily, eliminating the need to search through the collection onsite.

  • Eugene Lee Jun, Sun Yetong

    School of Engineering

     

    ProCubeX is an interactive and smart learning cube designed for children with dyslexia. Its ability to generate customised education plans ensures that every child receives personalised support while learning at his own pace. The cube promotes multisensory stimulation, effectively engaging areas of the brain associated with language acquisition. With lessons that adapt in difficulty, ProCubeX allows children to begin with manageable challenges and progressively handle more complex tasks, fostering both confidence and skills development. As an early intervention tool, ProCubeX can enhance educational outcomes for its users.

  • Lloyd Goh Qi Xuan, Loh Wan Loong

    School of Information Technology

     

    This interactive IoT device, developed in collaboration with NUS and other NGOs, offers various functions, including musical instruments and game controls. First deployed at an elderly centre, its gamification adds an element of fun to encourage the elderly to engage with it.

  • Lim Kok Fong

    School of Information Technology

     

    This mobile app allows users to send detailed help requests within a hospital, enabling staff to instantly alert CodeBlue team members on their devices during emergencies. By reducing the need to locate emergency buttons, it cuts down on the reaction time required to activate medical teams.

"To build a Smart Nation, and make full use of IT in our lives, we need to gather good ideas from many sources. I want to encourage young people to be interested in IT, and to come up with creative ways of using IT to improve our lives... I hope this new Award will stimulate more Polytechnic students to do their best, to use their imagination and skills to do outstanding projects in Interactive Digital Media, which will make a difference to Singapore."
