Centuries before the air plane was invented and the world was much larger than it seems now, Western travelers tried in their own ways to explore the East and, as a gift back home, they often brought with them printed maps of the unforeseen cultures.

Titled “Regnum Chinae: The Printed Western Maps of China to 1735”, the book features 127 Western printed maps of China from 1584 to 1735, which has taken Dr. Marco CABOARA, Digital Scholarship and Archives Manager at HKUST Lee Shau Kee Library, and his team four years to finish.

Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have developed an AI-based guidewire recognition and counting technology to reduce the risk of guidewire retention in patient’s body after a clinical procedure known as insertion of central venous catheter (CVC). The team, led by Prof. Gary CHAN Shueng-Han from HKUST’s Department of Computer Science and Engineering, has designed the AI software technology and clinically deployed it in Tseung Kwan O Hospital (TKOH) on nineteen cases since November 2021.  The system, which accurately and promptly recognizes all the used guidewires removed from patient’s bodies without missing a single case, is proven to be highly reliable in enhancing patient safety.
