A team of students from the University of Macau (UM), recently won a gold prize in the group category of an inter-varsity entrepreneurship competition for students in Macao and Zhuhai. Named ‘BrainLightning’, the entrepreneurial team won the prize for their late-model early stroke diagnostic device that can screen for significant bilateral temperature differences in patients with cerebral ischaemia. The device measures the difference in peak cranial surface temperature between the affected side and the opposite side of the patient for rapid identification of ischaemic strokes. The event attracted over 200 teams from more than 40 universities in China and abroad. The event was organised by the Zhuhai Human Resources and Social Security Bureau.
