New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg recently announced that ReFleX Wireless, comprising UBC engineering students Andy Tsai, Jinting Zhu, Carol Lee and Peter Guan, won the undergraduate track at the NYC Next Idea business plan competition. The team will receive $15,000 and six months of free office space in New York City in which to launch their business.
ReFleX Wireless is 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.
