    Students at the Department of Biomedical Technology at the Lebanese German University realized their first social project dedicated to help the Lebanese Red Cross detect heart strokes of a driver behind the wheel.
    The project, developed by students Carla Zeine and Joseph Khattar under the supervision of Dr. Eng. Roy Abi Zeid Daou, presents an embedded monitoring system designed for drivers to detect medical emergencies. A compatible phone application is designed to survey and control the system by using some vital signs sensors such as the heart rate and the SPO2. If a medical failure occurs and the driver is no longer able to continue his trip, an alarm will sound and the car location will be sent immediately to the Red Cross main center. Google maps will display the shortest way to get to the driver.

      Visit of Professor Dr. Michel Landry to LGU As An Expert in The DPT Field


As we are aiming for excellence in teaching at the Doctor of Physical Therapy program (DPT), LGU was honored to host another renowned expert in the field, Doctor Michel Landry.
Dr. Michel D. Landry is a Professor in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery and in Duke Global Health Institute (DGHI) at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina (USA). Prior to his current position, Dr. Landry spent seven years as Division Chief of the Duke Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) Division where he successfully implemented an upgrade of the program that has now grown into one of the top physical therapy programs in the United States. Prior to receiving his doctoral degree, he held clinical and senior management positions within the private rehabilitation sector in Ontario (Canada), and within international humanitarian aid and development agencies. Dr. Landry is a health policy and services researcher, and his area of study is the policy implications of the gap between available supply (financial and human resources) and increasing demand for rehabilitation and health services across the continuum of care. He is a Past-President of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association and a former Career Scientist at the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC). He lectures widely on policy and the political dynamics of rehabilitation, implications on people with disabilities, and is a provocative advocate for the moral, ethical, and economic necessity to ensure accessible and affordable rehabilitation services across the continuum of high, middle, and low-income countries. Dr. Landry is currently completing his Executive Master’s of Business Administration (MBA) at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business, where he is also participating in the Health Sector Management Certificate (HSM).
