Mobile 3D project on scoliosis correction wins grant
A team that consists of mostly UIC students worked on an innovated project that was titled ‘Mobile Body 3D Reconstruction for Scoliosis Patients’. This project was awarded a grant of 100,000 Hong Kong Dollar (HKD) by the the 2018 Cyberport Guangdong-Hong Kong Young Entrepreneur Programme (GD-HK YEP).
According to Yang Jiayu (UIC's 2018 CST graduate), who was responsible for research and development in the team, the project was aimed at helping young scoliosis patients by building braces through 3D printing, based on the spinal data captured by the camera on a mobile phone.
