While sharing the vision of IEEE EMBS on creating a link between sc ience and life science\, creating innovations in healthcare technology for the benefit of all humanity this competition focus on encouraging the und ergraduates of both medical and engineering disciplines to collaborate on solving problems in the fields of biology and medicine. The competition pr oved its success with the participation of 25 teams consisting of students from various disciplines such as Medicine\, Biomedical Engineering\, Elec tronic and Telecommunication Engineering\, Electrical and Information Engi neering\, and Computer Science and Engineering working together with an ai m of solving health related issues. The judge board for the day consisted of a vivid combination of a representation of fields such as medicine\, en gineering and finance. Dean of the Medical faculty of Colombo\, Consultant microbiologist Prof. Jennifer Perera\, Faculty Advisor of IEEE EMBS at Un iversity of Moratuwa Dr. Anjula De Silva\, Senior lecturer at University o f Moratuwa\, Dr. Simon Kappel evaluated the first round of the competition and the medical and engineering aspects of the product served as the main focus of the initial round. The final round was assessed by Dr. Nuwan Day ananda\, the head of the department\, Department of Electronic and Telecom munication of University of Moratuwa\, Mr. Heminda Jayaweera\, founder at Venture Frontier Lanka\, Jendo Innovations\, serial innovator and entrepre neur with the addition of Dr. Anjula De Silva and Dr. Simon Kappel from th e first round. The competition was included with an innovation session on biomedical engineering and on the vitality of effective communication in t he field\, was conducted by Dr. Pujitha Silva\, Senior lecturer at the Uni versity of Moratuwa and the director of Centre of Biomedical Innovations ( CEBI).\n\nThe five team finalists presented innovative and extremely benef icial products to the development of healthcare. After many ground breakin g presentations and the QnA sessions the team NephroSnap consisted with tw o medical students and an engineering undergrad representing University of Colombo and University of Moratuwa emerged as champions of Brainstorm 201 8 for their product for urine protein measuring and monitoring system. The team biteCode from University of Peradeniya and team AD-MINI from SLIIT w on the second and third places for their products infant sleep apnea detec tion system and memory improvement tool for Dementia Alzheimer's patients respectively.\n\nBrainstorm 2018 proved its achievement with the innovativ e and valuable concepts arose as solutions for the development of the heal thcare sector. This is considered as an initial step taken towards a giant development of engineering in medicine and biology in Sri Lanka and in th e world in the years to come.\n\nAgenda: \n08.30am – 8.45am Team Registr ation\n\n08.45am – 8.50am Welcome Speech\n\n08.50am – 9.00am Speech | Dr. Anjula De Silva | Faculty Advisor- IEEE EMBS @ UoM\n\n09.00am – 10.4 5am Preliminary Round\n\n10.45am – 11.00am Break\n\n11.00am – 12.30pm Preliminary Round (Cont.)\n\n12.30am – 01.00pm Lunch\n\n01.00pm – 01.3 0pm Innovation Session | Dr. Pujitha Silva | Director- CEBI\n\n01.30pm – 02.30pm Announcing the Finalists and Break\n\n02.30pm – 04.30pm Grand F inale\n\n04.30pm – 05.45pm Awarding Ceremony\n\n05.45pm – 06.00pm Vote of Thanks\n\nBldg: Wimalasurendra Auditorium\, Institution of Engineers S ri Lanka (IESL)\, No 120/15\, Wijerama Mawatha\, Colombo 07\, Sri Lanka\, Sri Lanka LOCATION:Bldg: Wimalasurendra Auditorium\, Institution of Engineers Sri Lan ka (IESL)\, No 120/15\, Wijerama Mawatha\, Colombo 07\, Sri Lanka\, Sri La nka ORGANIZER:kavinda1221@gmail.com SEQUENCE:3 SUMMARY:‘Brainstorm 2018’\; The Premier Biomedical Competition in Sri L anka URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/184497 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>&lsquo\;<strong><em>Brainstorm 2018&rsquo\ ;</em></strong>: the premier biomedical competition in Sri Lanka organized by the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society Student Branch Ch apter of the University of Moratuwa (IEEE EMBS at UoM) was successfully he ld on the 05<sup>th</sup> October at the Institute of Engineers Sri Lanka.
