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.

Prof. Sumaya Al-Maadeed and her research team have won another golden medal for inventing a “device and method for detecting cancer”, and two bronze medals for inventing a “mobile device to detect things and obstacles” and a “system to help people with visual impairment”.
A CSE team led by Dr. Mohammed Al-Sada and Dr. Osama Halabi has received the Best Poster Award at the 3rd International Symposium of Intelligence Design (ISID 2023). The award was given for the poster paper titled “Virtual Reality Wearable Telexistence System Deployment and Evaluation Environment“.
(ISID 2023) is an international conference for researchers from various research fields to discuss the potential future of artificial intelligence and design. This symposium aims to introduce the latest research findings by world-class researchers who lead innovation design and research and discuss unexplored research areas in the field and the possibility of approaching new issues. ISID is hosted by University of Fukui, JAIST Co-AI Design Research Center, and supported by the grant from JAIST Co-AI Design Research Core.
The project is part of a collaboration between Qatar University and Waseda University. The research team includes Ms. Fatima Al-Yafei, Ms. Eman Al-Shaer, Ms. Bushra Alarqaban, Ms. Muneera Al-Yousef, Ms. Lujan Hayajneh, Mr. Abdulla Iskandar, Prof. Tatsuo Nakajima, Dr. Osama Halabi, and Dr. Mohammed Al-Sada.
The poster work is part of a larger project that explores using a VR based environment for the deployment and evaluation of wearable robotic systems, with emphasis on human-robot interaction in various contexts of use.
