NUST students honoured at Stanford Longevity Design Challenge 2017

TAME designs wearable devices for real-time pathological wrist tremor suppression

Students from the National University of Science and Technology (Nust) Islamabad have brought fame to Pakistan by winning this year’s Stanford Center on Longevity Design Challenge held in California, United States.

TAME, which designs wearable devices for real-time pathological wrist tremor suppression, was selected as one of the finalists for the Stanford Center on Longevity Design Challenge earlier this year.



The project went on to secure the first place for its design facing tough competition from the top universities of the world. The co-founders raised the Pakistani flag on stage at Stanford as they received the award, creating a proud moment for their country and home university.
