Amman: A Jordanian student team secured first place at the Arab level and third place globally in artificial intelligence during the Codeavour 7.0 competition held in Jakarta, highlighting the growing presence of Jordanian youth in international technology and innovation platforms. The "LifeSense" team from Latin Patriarchate Secondary School - Al-Wasiyah also received the "Outstanding Merit" award at the competition, which brought together teams from countries around the world.
According to Jordan News Agency, the team, made up of first secondary grade students, developed a healthcare-focused project using artificial intelligence and Internet of Things technologies to support kidney failure patients through continuous monitoring of vital indicators and early prediction of health complications. Team member Shaas Jihad Al-Habashneh said the project evolved from a simple scientific idea into a startup initiative aimed at improving healthcare monitoring and reducing medical risks for patients undergoing dialysis treatment.
He explained that the team began work on the project in September 2025 before winning a gold medal at the Arab level in the open projects category among more than 1,100 projects involving over 15,000 students from across the Arab world. The achievement qualified the team for the global finals, where it secured third place internationally. Al-Habashneh said the success represents a strong motivation to continue developing the project and expanding its future applications within the healthcare sector.
Student Sarah Bashar Al-Rashdan said the project was inspired by challenges facing kidney failure patients, particularly during periods between dialysis sessions when continuous medical supervision becomes limited. She explained that the system relies on a wearable smart device capable of measuring heart rate, oxygen levels and body temperature before analyzing the data using artificial intelligence to detect early health changes and send immediate alerts when intervention may be required.
Meanwhile, student Malak Mubarak Al-Habashneh said participation in the global finals provided the team with valuable experience in presenting projects before international judging panels and enhanced their expertise in technology and scientific research. She added that the team plans to continue developing the project and expanding its capabilities in the coming period.
The students also praised the support provided by Latin Patriarchate Secondary School - Al-Wasiyah and its administration in encouraging innovation and supporting student excellence. In related remarks, lawyer and academic Jihad Al-Habashneh said the achievement reflects the importance of investing in youth talent and providing supportive environments that enable students to transform innovative ideas into globally competitive projects. He added that the accomplishment sends a positive message about the ability of Jordanian youth to compete successfully in international scientific and technological fields.
