On December 13, 2024, the Department of Biomedical Engineering at HITEC University, in collaboration with the HITEC Science Society and IEEE EMBS, successfully hosted a workshop titled "Computer Vision in Action."

The workshop, led by Engr. Sheza Tahir, provided an enriching experience for students and professionals from various departments within HITEC University as well as neighboring institutions. Participants were introduced to the captivating field of Computer Vision, exploring its daily applications and discussing foundational algorithms such as YOLO, HOG, SIFT, and more.

A key highlight of the event was the hands-on projects, where attendees developed a hand gesture recognition system using neural networks and a gaze detection system, showcasing practical applications of Computer Vision.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Engr. Sheza Tahir for delivering such an engaging session, to the organizers for their tireless efforts, and to the participants whose enthusiasm made the workshop a resounding success. We look forward to hosting more insightful and impactful events in the future!

The Department of Biomedical Engineering at HITEC University, in collaboration with IEEE EMBS HITEC Student Branch and the HITEC Science Society, successfully hosted a seminar on "Robotics and AI in Healthcare" on December 5, 2024. The seminar was delivered by Dr. Khawaja Fahad Iqbal, who currently serves as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Robotics and AI, NUST. His expertise provided invaluable insights into the transformative role of robotics and AI in the healthcare sector.
The event offered students and faculty a platform to engage in meaningful discussions on cutting-edge innovations, inspiring growth and innovation in Biomedical Engineering.
We extend our gratitude to Dr. Khawaja Fahad Iqbal for delivering an engaging and thought-provoking session, to Dr. Nizam Uddin, Head of the Department, for his continuous support, and to Engr. Sheza Tahir, Engr. Anoosh Latif and Engr. Muhammad Ahtasham Abid for their seamless facilitation.
A special thank you to the students for their enthusiasm and active participation, which contributed to the seminar's success. We look forward to hosting more impactful events in the future!

Happy to share the successfully completed enriching industrial visit of the Batch 2022 of the Biomedical Engineering Department from HITEC University, Taxila to the Biological Sciences Department and Sino-Pak Center for Artificial Intelligence (SPCAI), at PAF-IAST Haripur, on 4th December 2024, under the supervision of Engr. Atiqa Saleem who is serving as a focal person of Industrial linkages and visits.

During this visit students explored laboratory equipment and gained valuable insights into research methodologies.

Also, special thanks to Engr. Sheza Tahir for accompanying us on this visit.

A key highlight was a productive meeting between Engr. Atiqa Saleem, Engr. Sheza Tahir, and Dr. Najam-us-Sehar, Head of the Department, to discuss collaboration opportunities between BME at HITEC and Biological Sciences at PAF-IAST.

Milestone achieved! The Batch of 2021, Biomedical Engineering Department at HITEC University Taxila, has successfully concluded their mandatory internships as per the PEC requirement in the form of presentations on 8-11-2024 in Room#EE-07. Special thanks to our Internship Coordinator Engr. Atiqa Saleem for her tireless efforts in placing students at hospitals, providing references, and ensuring a seamless conclusion.

Grateful to Steering Committee Members: Engr. Sheza Tahir, and Engr. Mnahil Javed, and HoD Dr. Nizam Ud Din for their invaluable support.

We are pleased to highlight the recent conduction of Lab in Instrumentation Lab on 31st October 2024. on Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) measurement by our 5th semester students under the supervision of Engr. Atiqa Saleem (Lecturer) at Biomedical Engineering Department.

An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a non-invasive test that measures the electrical activity of the heart. An ECG can provide information about the heart's rate and rhythm, and can help diagnose conditions like coronary heart disease, atrial fibrillation, and heart attack. It can also be used to monitor how well heart treatments are working.

In this Lab we used BIOPAC Setup and ECG Lead system.
The Lab focused on ECG-1 "Observe rate and rhythm changes in the ECG associated with body position and breathing". Parameters that monitored were as follows:

1. Supine
2. Seated
3. Inhale
4. Exhale
5. After exercise
6. Supine ( systolic/Diastolic)
7. After exercise (systolic/Diastolic)
