When seven is a lucky number

AN intelligent digital rectal exam (DRE) device and a packaging solution for an e-commerce business platform were among the innovations that won seven students at Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR) top prizes at a recent competition involving students from Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan.

For their participation at the 2022 University Alliance in Talent Education Development (UAiTED) Innovation Competition, competing students formed cross-institution and cross-regional teams from UAiTED member universities in these countries to come up with innovative solutions based on the themes of Healthy Lives, Education, Ecosystem for Innovation, Climate Action and Sustainable Energy, which are part of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
