UBC engineering entrepreneurship team ReFleX Wireless heads to international competition

UBC engineering students Andy Tsai, Carol Lee, Jinting Zhu and Peter Guan, are heading to New York City to compete in the 2011 NYC Next Idea Competition at Columbia University, held on April 4 to 8.

The student team co-founded ReFleX Wireless, a multi-patient wireless monitoring solution for hospitals, which facilitates more effective patient monitoring and reduces excess wires currently cluttering hospitals. The team’s prototype uses wireless technology to monitor the torso-orientation and body temperature of multiple patients simultaneously in real–time.
