The National Student Scientific Week (PIMNAS) is an annual student innovation and research competition organized by the National Achievement Center and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia and has been held for the last 35 years and has become a prestigious event for all Indonesian students. PIMNAS 35 itself is the last stage of the Student Creativity Program (PKM) which has been going on since February 2022.

Under the guidance of Prof. I Wayan Widhiada, ST., M.Sc., Ph.D, the Glaucoma Assist (Glassist) Team from Udayana University won a silver medal for the presentation class.

Glassist applies mathematical geometric models and artificial intelligence technology to detect the risk of blindness due to glaucoma which is an international health emergency.

The Glassist team plans to increase the potential usefulness of the blind risk monitoring prototype by modifying and developing the device design and validating medical devices to support commercialization. The Glassist team hopes to continue coordinating with Udayana University to support program sustainability.
