Through this project, students worked on real-world issues by collaborating with clinicians from NUH to develop a prototype which would enable diabetic patients to undertake foot screening more regularly and conveniently. Students were able to identify and translate real needs from users into system requirements and constraints, identify suitable technologies to realise a practical system and build simple proof-of-concept applications. Ultimately, the device developed by the students was one that allowed for automated diabetic foot screening, with the use of digital imaging and artificial intelligence to increase screening accessibility and efficiency. A comparison between this device (PODIA), which spends about 2 minutes on foot screening, with the current device adopted in hospitals, which takes up about 30 minutes (excluding waiting and traveling time to the hospital), showcases the efficiency and workability of the students' creation.
