PKU Students Win China’s First Prize and World’s Third Prize at 2024 MGC

  In the 2024 Medical Grand Challenge (MGC) finals, The NeuroVisionaries, a student team from Peking University, stood out from nearly 60 teams from all over the world and won the championship of China division and the third prize of the world in Nascent Category.

  

  After three rounds of online evaluation and two rounds of offline defense, the team launched “an AI-based wearable multi-modal eye-cranial pressure monitoring and control system.” That provides a new physical control method for patients with long-term low intracranial pressure, and provides a controllable and portable self-management tool, which simplifies the treatment process and improves the quality of life.

  It is reported that the MGC is a student-led medical innovation program initiated by Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore. It aims to encourage medical students to identify unmet healthcare needs, form interdisciplinary teams (of two to eight people) with students from other faculties, and explore creative and out-of-the-box solutions to address these issues.
