  AI-Powered Blood Pressure Monitoring for Everyone 
  The project focuses on developing a non-invasive method for measuring blood pressure using AI and the built-in sensors of mobile devices, such as microphones, motion sensors, and cameras. This innovative approach allows for convenient home healthcare and continuous monitoring without the need for additional hardware. Key features include the ability to compute various vital signs, telemedicine integration, emergency care capabilities, personalized drug dosage optimization, cost-effectiveness, high scalability, and privacy protection, ensuring that no identifiable data is exposed. 
  
  It is led by Mr Nicholas Kwok and Professor Joshua Ho.
