Recently, the provincial competition of the 27th China Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Competition concluded. After intense competition, the graduate team project “VitaCore – Personal Health Comprehensive Monitoring Station” guided by Director Xie Xiaoyong from the Department of Statistics and Epidemiology at the Graduate School of the PLA General Hospital won the Special Award for Innovative Design of New Quality Productivity (team members: Liu Ting, Wang Liye).
It is reported that the China Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Competition is one of the highest standard, most comprehensive, and most influential official events in the AI and robotics field in China. The competition aims to deepen comprehensive reforms in higher education, stimulate students’ creativity, and promote development through innovation, achieving the goals of “learning through competition, teaching through competition, and creating through competition.” This year’s “New Quality Productivity Innovative Design Special Competition” provincial event covered 31 provincial competition areas nationwide, attracting 404 universities to participate, with a total of 2,963 valid submissions. The competition evaluation adopted a dual mechanism of “AI plagiarism detection + expert blind review,” and after multiple rounds of selection, our submitted “VitaCore” project successfully ranked among the provincial third prizes (with a winning ratio of 15.83%), marking the first time we have won an award in this competition.
▲ Team Discussion
The “VitaCore” project addresses the core pain points of modern personal health management, with the core concept of an “integrated health protection hub,” breaking through the limitations of traditional single-function devices. It creatively integrates non-invasive vital sign monitoring (such as blood pressure, blood oxygen, ECG, etc.), environmental perception, and smart pillbox functions into one. The project features a simple streamlined design, providing a gentle human-computer interaction experience, perfectly suited for home desktop scenarios. By collecting user health data in a one-stop manner and linking to a dedicated APP to generate dynamic trend reports, “VitaCore” aims to become a powerful assistant for users’ daily health tracking and chronic disease management, creating a truly convenient and intelligent “personal health steward” for health-conscious adults, chronic disease patients, and those in need of remote health monitoring, facilitating proactive health management in daily life. Its clear industrial path and scalability (such as blood glucose monitoring and remote medical connections) demonstrate its enormous potential in the personal health management device sector.
▲ Project Display Board
The Department of Statistics and Epidemiology combines its professional characteristics to offer a “Statistical Clinic” service for the entire hospital, focusing on cultivating the innovative spirit and interdisciplinary integration capabilities of young military doctors with the training goal of “designing, analyzing, quality controlling, and expressing.” In recent years, it has achieved numerous excellent results in various competitions such as the National College Student Statistical Modeling Competition, the National Statistical Case Application Competition, and the China University SAS Data Analysis Competition, continuously winning national second prizes and 15 provincial and ministerial-level awards including the special prize of the whole army.
