UU student wins healthcare award
A unique healthcare tool created at the University of Ulster has secured a second major prize inside a month for its inventors.
Lesley-Ann Black, a PhD student in the Faculty of Engineering at UU, developed Di@l-log, a software solution which collates and monitors key disease indicators for Type 2 Diabetes. It allows doctors to monitor and track diabetes patients from home using intelligent spoken dialogue technologies which can relay patient data directly to the clinic through telephone conversations.
Lesley-Ann won the prestigious Irish Software Association’s Software Student of the Year award for her involvement with the project and was presented with a medal and a €5,000 cheque.
She was also part of the Faculty of Engineering team which won the Investment Belfast £25K competition recently, picking up the top prize of £10,000.
The ISA awards took place in Dublin and are designed to honour software and IT professionals, both in established and early-stage companies.
