A biomedical engineering team developed a handheld device that measures newborn heart rate in under 10 seconds—far faster than current tools. Using a novel sensor and real-time algorithms, it improves clinicians’ ability to intervene within the critical first minute after birth. Clinical trials are complete, the device is patented, and commercialization is underway.

This research seeks to reduce the energy consumption of 4G and 5G networks—currently about 3% of global usage—by identifying the factors that drive it. By modelling how elements like signal noise affect energy demands in antennas and processing hardware, the project aims to guide the design of more efficient, sustainable mobile networks.
