Team ResQ from the Department of Computer Engineering, University of Peradeniya, placed third in the Biomedical Engineering and Emerging Technologies category at IEEE FYP Arena 2026, held on 3 October 2026.

The competition brought together students from state and non-state universities across Sri Lanka to showcase their final-year projects.

Team ResQ presented a smart CPR training system that uses sensors fitted to a training manikin to measure chest compression depth, rate, and recoil. The system provides real-time feedback so trainees can adjust their technique during practice and review their performance afterwards.

The team comprised S. Ganathipan, V. Amirsha, K. Kartheepan, and S. Kavishanthan, all undergraduates in the Department of Computer Engineering.

The Department congratulates Team ResQ on its podium finish and looks forward to seeing how the team further develops the system to support CPR training.
