Ahsan Khandoker (Bangladeshi-born Australian) is a professor of Biomedical Engineering at Khalifa University in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. He is notable for his contributions to health technology, particularly in developing devices for fetal monitoring and heart murmur detection in infants.

Early Life and Education

Ahsan Khandoker was born in Bangladesh and later moved to Australia, where he pursued higher education in biomedical engineering.

Career

Khandoker is a professor at Khalifa University in Abu Dhabi, specializing in biomedical engineering with a focus on developing health technologies for mothers, infants, and athletes. His research primarily targets issues in fetal monitoring, heart health, and exercise safety.

Research and Contributions

Khandoker is the inventor of the Twinkle Heart device ^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4], a fetal heart monitor designed for home use by pregnant women to track fetal heartbeat and cardiac activity in infants. This device was licensed to an Emirati startup to support accessible, home-based monitoring solutions for expectant mothers in the UAE ^[5].

He has also collaborated with the Children's National Hospital in Washington, D.C., to develop a digital device capable of detecting heart murmurs in infants, providing an innovative solution in early cardiac health monitoring ^[6].

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Khandoker developed a model that uses breathing sounds to detect COVID-19. This research, podcasted on KU Radio, provided a preliminary self-testing method for suspected COVID-19 patients ^[7].

Awards and Recognition

Khandoker received the Legacy Challenge 22 ^[8] award from Qatar for his work on a prototype device that monitors safe exercise levels for athletes and non-athletes ^[9]. His contributions to biomedical computing have gained significant recognition in the Arab research community, especially regarding health technology challenges in the region ^[10].
