Personal Reflection

Through this journey in communication, I think that I have learnt more about effective communication. During the lesson on every Wednesday, I was able to have a chance to interact with my classmates. For the group project, I was able to share some of my personal opinions with my group members. Also, I have learnt more about the proper usage of language, such as the use of comma to separate independent clauses in a sentence. For the oral presentation, I found out that the way to reduce my fear of public speaking is to practice speaking in front of the audience as often as possible. Even though there was only a short period of time for the preparation of presentation, my group had practiced a lot in order to give a good presentation. 

Being an audience for the showcase, I really enjoyed myself. This showcase allowed me to understand how to give an effective presentation. The six teams had prepared well before the presentation and I could feel the hard work and effort that they have put in for this showcase. All of the presenters were confident and able to deliver their key ideas to us clearly. Personally, I like the presentation slides from each team. Their presentation slides were very simple but impactful. Some of the groups used a short video as introduction that allowed them to attract more attention from the audience.

Overall, I think that this module is very meaningful. I have further enhanced my communication strengths and improved my weaknesses.

Summary (Draft 1)

According to Yuen Sin (2017),  the compact Smart StethoScope is a device invented by three students from Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP).  This small device is wearable and allows users with cardiovascular diseases to monitor their hearts for abnormal sounds at home without any medical understanding. This could save the lives of patients whose heart conditions might not have been detected during medical appointments. It can collect data on heart sounds and the heart electrical activity. The data is then uploaded into a machine learning model on a cloud server that will process it and identify abnormal heart sounds. Users are only required to wear it for around five minutes per day to record their heart conditions and the saved data will be secured. This device is affordable as it only takes $30 to produce it. Doctors are able to monitor their patients’ health through this device more easil y. Yuen Sin(2017), Straitstimes.  https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/education/wear-this-device-t
