Imagination + innovation
= countless lives saved
Melbourne students Hon Weng Chong, Andrew Lin, Kim
Ramchen and Mahsa Salehi became national superstars
when they won the Australian fnals of the Microsoft Imagine
Cup competition in 2012.
The prestigious competition requires student teams to
devise projects that will help tackle some of the world’s
toughest problems.
Our students developed the StethoCloud – an intelligent,
cloud-powered, mobile-hybrid stethoscope that is able to
diagnose childhood pneumonia. The device could potentially
save countless lives if implemented in the developing world.
The team was awarded a $75 000 grant to continue evolving
their project into a real-world business.
