More than 30 teams of SMU School of Information Systems students presented their final-year project last Friday which included various themes such as health, investment transactions and transport. Quite a number of teams worked with VWOs and statutory boards, where they hope to improve the daily lives of Singaporeans through their projects. Among them was a team which designed chairs fitted with sensors which will alert the caregivers of elderly fall-risk clients who try to stand without supervision. The chairs are currently used in one of the care centres run by St Hilda's Community Services Centre. Another team, whose project was supported by URA and LTA, has designed an app which can, among other things, plan the fastest or safest routes for cyclists. The app has been downloaded more than 800 times since mid-September.
