Ahsan Khandoker
Ahsan Habib Khandoker is a Bangladeshi-born Australian academic working at Khalifa University in Abu Dhabi as a Professor of Biomedical Engineering. He is the inventor of the Twinkle Heart device, a Fetal Phonocardiogram (fPCG) device which helps pregnant mothers monitor fetal heartbeat and the baby’s cardiac activity. The intellectual property (IP) technology license was given to the home-based monitoring device, the Emirati startup, that helps pregnant mothers monitor fetal heartbeat and the baby’s cardiac activity.

He also collaborated with researchers at Children’s National Medical Centre (CNMC) in Washington DC, USA, to develop an innovative digital device effective in detecting heart murmurs in infants. During the COVID-19 pandemic, his model using breathing sounds to detect COVID-19, podcasted by KU Radio raised a significant relief for suspected patients staying home and testing themselves. His award from Qatar’s Legacy Challenge 22 for his work on a prototype device that monitors safe exercise levels for athletes and non-athletes and his work on health technology challenges in the Arab region and biomedical computing received a huge interest in the research community of the Arab World.
