CCU-Taiwan

We met up with CCU-Taiwan on September 19, they are also the first team we have collaborated with. During the discussion, they bring up some questions that we think are constructive and some of them are also problems that we haven’t solved yet. For example, they asked a question about whether MIT Inventor can be used by ios users, and also about the specificity and the sensitivity of our detection, these questions we know that we still have parts missing in our experiment, and give us the direction of progress.

UGM-Indonesia

We have an online collaboration with the UGM-Indonesia team on September 27, which is different from team CCU-Taiwan, our discussion this time focuses mainly on Human Practice. When we finished our presentation about our experiment, they first asked us how we could find people in the wide range( range of 19 to 81) in our survey in rural areas. Because elders are also our target users, whether we take any action to support them while they use our product will be a crucial question. And is the doctor at the hospital the one who is going to monitor the test result?

As the discussion goes on, we greatly benefit from their education program by the way they design and execute it.

UNC-ChapelHill

Meeting up with team UNC-ChapelHill, we did a virtual collaboration with them on September 28. Throughout the meeting, we discussed material chosen for the dry lab, and also the sensitivity and specificity of the biomarker we have chosen. Since both of the team’s projects are about fast detection, we found many common points throughout the discussion, so we exchanged lots of ideas, and learned from each presentation.
