[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, trainee reporter Hwang Du-yeol] A student team from Gyeongnam Information University won the grand prize at the "2nd National Idea Competition for ICT Convergence-Based Dental Industry Commercialization."

The competition was hosted by Busan City and organized by Busan Technopark and the Graduate School of Dentistry at Pusan National University.

A total of 128 teams from across the country participated in the contest, with 10 teams, including those from Yonsei University and startup companies, competing in the finals.

The KITPT team from the Department of Physical Therapy at Gyeongnam Information University submitted an idea titled "Pain Cleaner" and received the grand prize of the competition as well as the Dean's Award from the Graduate School of Dentistry at Pusan National University.

The submitted "Pain Cleaner" features an IoT control method controllable via a smartwatch, which reduces its size and enhances ease of use.

The product uses DuPont's new conductive silicone rubber as its material. Utilizing the property of electrically conductive rubber, it is designed to adhere closely to skin even in areas with hair or fur.

Kim Tae-hoon, the student who received the grand prize, said, "I am grateful to the school for enabling the knowledge learned at university to lead to the actual development of medical devices."
