IEEE Day 2023
IEEE Day 2023, celebrated on October 10th, Tuesday, was a remarkable event hosted by the EMBS (Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society) team at Hashemite University. The event was designed to showcase various aspects of technology, innovation, and engineering excellence through a series of interactive booths. It brought together students, professionals, and enthusiasts from engineering and medical backgrounds to celebrate technology and explore the incredible projects and innovations that result from the fusion of these fields.
We have many Booth on this Day Started with Technical Booth:
One of the highlights of IEEE Day was the technical booth, where students and members presented an array of innovative projects involving different types of projects. These projects not only demonstrated the versatility of sensor technology but also their potential applications in various domains. The first project done using MAX30102 Pulse, It’s anOximeter and Heart Rate sensor that uses a library called: “MAX30105”. The Second project was uesd Heart Rate sensor pulse sensor, It’s a Heart Rate Sensor that uses a library called: “PulseSensor Playground”.
The third technical project was about, The MasSpec Pen: Detecting Cancer by Touch A standout project at the event was the MasSpec Pen demonstration. This groundbreaking technology has the ability to detect cancer through touch. The EMBS team illustrated the concept by implementing the pen using Arduino and a power adapter. When the pen came into contact with a sensor controlling lighting, it would turn on. A green light indicated non-infected cells, while other colours indicate infection. This project was accompanied by informative papers from ieee.embs research papers and a video presentation from YouTube.
The next technical project was about Ai Enhancing Heusingalthcare The EMBS team’s commitment to merging technology and healthcare was further showcased through two innovative AI projects. The first project involved developing a sign language recognition system using Python. This technology could be applied in medical devices to help patients communicate the levels of pain when they are unable to speak. A camera sensor identified hand movements to determine pain levels. The second AI project aimed at enabling quadriplegics to control mobile devices using facial expressions. This was achieved through Python and facial recognition software, adding new dimensions to accessibility in healthcare.

The final technical project was using VR glasses technology Among the innovative projects unveiled at IEEE Day, the VR-Based Robotic Surgical Equipment Showcase took centre stage as a window into the future of surgical procedures. This project wasn’t just about embracing technology; it was a leap into a new era of medical innovation. Through the glasses we were shown a simulation of future surgeries.
Membership Growth and Website Launch Through IEEE Day, the EMBS team successfully expanded its membership and the Engineering Division in medicine and biology. The team also launched a dedicated website for IEEE EMBS HU, providing a platform for sharing knowledge and resources. A unique and engaging filter related to EMBS HU and IEEE Day was created, further promoting the event and the organisation’s activities on various social media platforms. The Website is still under development.
Also we do a specific filter for IEEE Day- Embs to our Social Media Instagram page
Here are quick statistics about the filter and its use, In addition to the technical and innovation-driven projects, we dedicated a special booth to membership development. Our Membership Developer Booth was strategically positioned to welcome students, professionals, and attendees interested in becoming a part of the vibrant EMBS community. Here, our dedicated team of membership developers showcased the numerous advantages of joining EMBS, including access to valuable resources, networking opportunities, and the chance to be part of a global community passionate about engineering in medicine and biology. We facilitated on-the-spot registrations and provided guidance on how to maximize the benefits of EMBS membership.
IEEE Day 2023 at Hashemite University was a testament to the power of technology, innovation, and the seamless integration of engineering and medicine. The event not only celebrated IEEE’s legacy but also showcased the limitless possibilities when technology and healthcare converge. It was an inspirational and enlightening day that left a lasting impact on all who attended.
