In a triumph of innovation and technical prowess, three brilliant minds from the Cebu Institute of Technology– University (CIT-U) have emerged as champions in Huawei’s ICT Competition – Innovation Track held in Jakarta, Indonesia. Adrian T. Sajulga, Thomas Danjo M. Manulat, and Tristan James V. Tolentino, all second-year Computer Science students, showcased their ingenuity and problem-solving skills on a regional stage, securing the top spot in a highly competitive field.
The Huawei ICT Competition is renowned for its rigorous selection process and high standards, making victory in this prestigious event a testament to the exceptional talent nurtured at CIT-U. The success of Sajulga, Manulat, and Tolentino not only brings honor to their university but also highlights the cutting-edge expertise and innovative spirit that define the institution.
Revolutionizing Healthcare with "Wei Care" Application
At the heart of the trio's success lies their groundbreaking healthcare innovation – the "Wei Care" application. Recognizing the limitations of existing diagnostic methods for detecting heart attacks, the students embarked on a mission to revolutionize cardiovascular health monitoring. Leveraging the capabilities of modern smartwatches, Wei Care employs sophisticated technology to provide early warnings of potential heart issues.
Central to the innovation is the integration of infrared spectroscopy, specifically tailored for Troponin-I assessment. This novel approach allows for non-invasive and real-time monitoring of heart health, providing individuals with invaluable insights into their cardiovascular well-being. By bridging the gap between technology and healthcare, Sajulga, Manulat, and Tolentino have demonstrated the transformative power of innovation in improving lives and advancing medical science.
CIT-U’s Winning Culture and Global Impact
The triumph of the CIT-U students in the Huawei ICT Competition is not merely a standalone achievement but a reflection of the university's unwavering commitment to excellence and innovation. Under the guidance of dedicated faculty and mentors, students are encouraged to push the boundaries of knowledge and pursue their passions with zeal. The victory of Sajulga, Manulat, and Tolentino serves as a shining example of CIT-U's winning culture, where creativity, collaboration, and perseverance are celebrated and nurtured.
Moreover, their success resonates far beyond the confines of the university campus, showcasing the potential for Filipino talent to make a mark on the global stage. By demonstrating the caliber of innovation emerging from the Philippines, Sajulga, Manulat, and Tolentino have not only brought pride to their alma mater but also inspired future generations of students to dream big and pursue their aspirations with determination.
Championing Health and Well-being on a Global Stage
As the CIT-U trio prepares to represent the Asia-Pacific region in the global finals of the Huawei ICT Competition, they carry with them not only the hopes of their university but also a broader vision of promoting health and well-being on a global scale. Their participation underscores the transformative potential of technology in addressing pressing healthcare challenges and advancing the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.
By championing Sustainable Development Goal number 3 – "good health and well-being" – Sajulga, Manulat, and Tolentino exemplify the role that young innovators can play in driving positive change in society. Their journey from the halls of CIT-U to the international stage serves as a testament to the power of determination, creativity, and collaboration in tackling some of the world's most pressing issues.
