About the Innovation \u2013 iHeart<\/strong><\/p>\n iHeart is a portable, AI-driven, multi-modal cardiac monitoring system that integrate<\/p>\n s five sensing technologies: ECG, PCG, SCG, PPG, and Continuous-Wave Doppler Ultrasound. By incorporating AI-based anomaly detection, iHeart aims to support more comprehensive, accessible, and intelligent cardiac monitoring.<\/p>\n Student Project Team: (Supervised by Prof. Arjuna Madanayake and Dr. Chathra Seneviratne)<\/p>\n This achievement adds to the team’s growing list of national-level recognitions in 2026:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n About the innovation – Thoraxis:<\/strong><\/p>\n In high-stakes fields like medicine, interpretability matters more than raw accuracy. Deep Learning models are black\u00a0boxes, that give a prediction but can\u2019t explain why. Thoraxis uses Dictionary Learning, where every diagnosis maps back to specific regions of a CT scan, so biomedical researchers can see exactly which<\/p>\n <\/p>\n underlying structure drove the decision.<\/p>\n Student Project Team: (Supervised by Dr. Kaveen Liyanage and \u2060Ms. Sithara Madhubhashini)<\/p>\n This achievement adds to the team\u2019s growing list of National-level recognitions in 2026:<\/p>\n The Faculty of Engineering, University of Ruhuna, is proud to announce that our undergraduate projects, \u201ciHeart: Multi-modal Cardiac Monitor for Emerging AI Health Applications\u201d – 1st Place \u201cThoraxis: Interpretable abnormality classification in volumetric chest CT using Dictionary Learning\u201d – 2nd Place secured 1st Place and the the 2nd Place at the Undergraduate Inventor of the…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[91,122],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eng.ruh.ac.lk\/deie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59809"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eng.ruh.ac.lk\/deie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eng.ruh.ac.lk\/deie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eng.ruh.ac.lk\/deie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eng.ruh.ac.lk\/deie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59809"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.eng.ruh.ac.lk\/deie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59809\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":59816,"href":"https:\/\/www.eng.ruh.ac.lk\/deie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59809\/revisions\/59816"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eng.ruh.ac.lk\/deie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59809"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eng.ruh.ac.lk\/deie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59809"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eng.ruh.ac.lk\/deie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59809"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
