The project impressed the Judging Panel thanks to its novelty in integrating multiple sensors into a single device and its high level of technical completeness. The signal processing system was systematically developed, and the product operated stably beyond laboratory conditions, with a comprehensive solution model covering devices, applications, and the cloud platform. The judges highly appreciated the team’s ability to design the hardware from the chip level without using ready-made modules, as well as the system’s stable operation and strong potential for future expansion.

After the competition, a representative of the VitalX team stated that the group was proud that the product could make a practical contribution to the domestic biomedical field and expressed sincere gratitude for the dedicated guidance of their supervising lecturer and the strong support from the University. In the coming period, the team plans to optimize the hardware, extend battery life, improve signal stability, enhance processing algorithms, and expand real-world testing, aiming to build a multi-sensor dataset for AI research and gradually move toward product commercialization.
