Season 13 of Stars of Science presents top eight Arab innovators
The Peninsula
Doha: The COVID-19 pandemic compelled the Mena region to accelerate digitization, specifically in the fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. Through the emergence of new fields and industries, Qatar Foundation (QF) has incubated and supported startups that included AI in their projects, with many innovations originating from their Stars of Science TV show.
Now in its 13th season, the show sees eight Arab innovators competing to transform their inventions into viable products. This season, four contestants focused on enhancing healthcare through customised treatment options.
Yemen’s Mugeb Alrahman Baggash Ali Al Harosh, biomedical engineer and Professor at Bauman Moscow State Technical University in Russia, designed a Portable Renal Blood Flowmeter that diagnoses preliminary kidney damage via non-invasive biosensors attached to the skin.
