The fair was organized from the 12th to 15th of February 2023 by Kuwait Science Club under the Patronage of His Highness, the Emir of Kuwait, Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, and in collaboration the International Federation of Inventors’ Associations (IFIA), World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), UNESCO, and the International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva. This unique convention in the Middle East was received with great importance locally, regionally, and internationally. It highlighted the inventions, innovations, and creativity of youths and universities.
Dr. Khalid Abualsaud and his team have won the golden medal on an invention resulted from the CSE Senior Design Project (SDP) 2021/2022. Other colleagues from our department as well as the Department of Electrical Engineering have contributed to improve the work. The invention was filed under QU tracking code QU2022-022 and reporting U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63/421, 416 filed November 1, 2022. Ref: 432743.10335 [I-AMS.FID5168591] in the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The system aims for continuous accurate blood glucose monitoring in a non-invasive manner. The current idea is that the device continuously measures blood sugar and notifies the patient in case of a significant increase in blood sugar that exceeds the limit of normal sugar level, or in case it drops below the limit.
