Khalifa University
Khalifa University is ranked top in the UAE and among the top 20 worldwide out of 606 Universities. According to Times Higher Education in Emerging Economies Rankings 2021. Biomedical Engineering (BME) at Khalifa University is an interdisciplinary field that advances knowledge in engineering, biology and medicine, and improves human health through cross-disciplinary activities that integrate the engineering sciences with the biomedical sciences and clinical practice. Using AI and cutting-edge technological means BME fosters the acquisition of new knowledge and understanding of living systems through the innovative and substantive application of experimental and analytical techniques based on the engineering sciences, along with the development of new devices, algorithms, processes and systems that advance biology and medicine and improve medical practice and health care delivery. BME covers a wide spectrum of activities including the development of advanced Micro-/Nano-technologies and biomaterials for improved implantable medical devices; the engineering of molecular, cellular, and tissue approaches and constructs; the enhancement and application of medical instrumentation and imaging technologies; the advanced biomechanics and rehabilitation bio-robotics along with smart IoT and wearable sensors for human behavioral modeling.
i-PROGNOSIS
Eleven partners, academic institutions and companies, from six EU countries, led by Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, have joined forces for i-PROGNOSIS in order to provide technology-based solutions against Parkinson’s, as well as raise awareness on the disease and self health management.
Targeting intelligent and innovative solutions based on early Parkinson’s Disease symptoms detection and early interventions for healthy ageing, the i-PROGNOSIS project won the Innovation pitch at AgeingFit 2020, as the most innovative project of the competition.
