MUEC 2001 had 42 entries and $70,000 worth of prizes on offer. The following teams won prizes.
1st Place – An@tomedia
Product Description
Multimedia educational products in human anatomy.
Brief outline of initial concept:
An@tomedia provides an innovative series of electronic medical education programs applicable to anyone learning or revising anatomy worldwide. The programs are relevant to students and teachers of anatomy at any level, as well as medical and paramedical practitioners updating their anatomy, earning continuing medical education points or in explaining the anatomical basis of problems to patients.
How did winning the competition assist the development of your product?
Competing in both MUEC and the Stanford global E-challenges provided many useful business contacts, ideas and feedback for future direction. Winning the MUEC generated considerable media exposure, business recognition and investor interest as well as assistance for ongoing product development.
Where is the product now?
The anatomedia CD series is more than half completed, with the fifth module, Pelvis, soon to be released. The CD provides an overview of the whole body, covering all concepts and principles of anatomy. An@tomedia has an increasing global presence in universities, local and international distributors and is self- funding ongoing development.
Where do you see the product in the next two years?
Close to completion of the CD series, with a reputation as the worldwide benchmark multimedia education of anatomy.

2nd Place – Sleep Apnea Monitor
Description
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), more commonly known as “Cot Death”, was originally defined in 1969. It is the name given to the sudden death of an infant which is unexpected and whereby a thorough post mortem examination fails to demonstrate an adequate cause of death.

While Baby Safe will not assist in defining the cause or mechanism of death due to SIDS, it will provide an alert to the caregiver when the baby’s lungs cease to expand due to absence of respiration. Thus, it may assist in further decreasing the tragic SIDS toll.

3rd Place – Love Mode Saw Device
Description
The idea is to commercialise a new generation Multilayer Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) device and introduce it to the market – telecommunication (mobile and fixed line), medicine (biomedicine, ultrasounds), defense (radar and sonar), and any field where signal processing is fundamental.

The SAW device is a fabricated multilayered chip that allows only specified frequencies to pass through them. In other words, the chip efficiently eliminates other frequencies and ‘noise’ (undesired frequencies).

The Multilayer Love mode SAW (Love mode has been named after Prof. Love who introduced this type of wave propagation in earthquake) devices are the next generation of SAW structures.
