Bio

About

As a biomedical engineering student at an international university, I aspire to make a real impact with my ideas. Rather than simply creating concepts for competitions or presentations, I am passionate about turning our projects into sustainable businesses that can benefit society regardless of location or educational background. I always prioritize bold thinking, taking action, and adaptability – these are the qualities that have helped me in my pursuit of becoming a valuable contributor to society.

Motivation for social impact creation

Growing up in a rural area, I fully understand the disadvantages of the poor. My biggest goal is to help the underprivileged have better access to amenities, especially health amenities – the most precious thing for anyone.

Research interests

As a student majoring in biomedical engineering, I have always been eager to contribute my ideas to improve the healthcare system in my country. However, there are not many opportunities to bring clinical research to the market, which can be very challenging. As a result, many excellent ideas have remained on paper. This has driven me to become an entrepreneur. I want to turn many biotech and biomedical ideas into reality and make it easier for people to access healthcare methods.

Current research projects

Our project focuses on improving the lives of disadvantaged communities, particularly those suffering from Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) in various regions. The prevalence of MCI in people over 60 is very high, reaching 33% in Vietnam (with 62% of patients concentrated in rural areas) and up to 70% in some parts of the world. Among them, the number of female patients with MCI is twice as high as that of male patients. Patients with MCI are likely to progress to dementia (Alzheimer’s), which greatly affects their quality of life in multiple domains, including cognitive, behavioral, and functional domains, and that is why we focus on this group. By developing games that focus on four cognitive abilities: memory, attention, language, and math, our Braintrain application can help MCI patients improve their cognition at a reasonable cost. They can remember daily events better, reduce the inconvenience caused by MCI, especially language, attention, and math-related issues. Moreover, MCI is a golden period for intervention. Without timely measures, MCI patients may miss an important intervention period and quickly progress to dementia. Our project has an important and meaningful mission to provide these patients with more time to enjoy life while pushing back Alzheimer’s disease.
