Innovation in Academic Operations at the College of Medicine

The College of Medicine at the University of Warith Al-Anbiyaa has developed and implemented an innovative mobile-based system aimed at automating student attendance and exam management during the second half of 2024. This project emerged in response to growing administrative pressures on teaching staff, inefficiencies in traditional processes, and the need for greater academic transparency and integrity. Through barcode-based attendance tracking and randomized, auto-corrected exams, the system replaces manual, time-consuming tasks with instant, accurate digital operations. Key features include real-time dashboards, exam security enhancements, instant result delivery, and weekly analytics. Notably, the system saves an estimated 3 hours of faculty time per week for each classroom of 40 students. Designed for scalability and accessibility, this solution is being piloted with significant success, reflecting the university’s commitment to digital transformation in higher education. The initiative serves as a benchmark for smart academic administration. Working Team:   Dr. Ali Abed Saadoon Al-Abid, Dean of the College of Medicine  Eng.

Transforming Healthcare with 3D Medical Printing

In 2024, the University of Warith Al-Anbiyaa (UOWA) in Karbala, Iraq, launched its 3D Medical Printing Development Hub, a groundbreaking initiative in medical technology. By leveraging advanced digital imaging and 3D printing, the hub aims to transform healthcare through precision medicine. This forward-thinking project is part of a global trend of using technology to enhance surgical planning, education, and treatment.   The hub focuses on designing custom craniofacial and skeletal implants, using patient-specific prototypes to improve trauma care, surgical planning, and medical training. Engineers, doctors, and educators collaborate to create practical, personalized medical solutions that go beyond technology—they bring healing and hope. As the hub evolves, its goal is to bring these innovations from the lab to clinical settings, making healthcare more precise and accessible.   Working Team: Professor Ibrahim Saeed Al-Hayawi / President of Warith Al-Anbiya University Syed Yaseen Naqvi / American Board of Internal Medicine, Cardiovascular Disease and Interventional Cardiology / Masters of Science in Preventative Cardiology Ali Fahim Saeed / Dentist Hassan Fahim Saeed / Dentist Ali Abdul Rasool Abdul Khaliq / Dentist Abbas Nouri Talib / Computer Engineering Technology Mohammed Ammar Faleh / Biomedical Engineering Ali Zuhair Ahmed / Computer Engineering Technology Karar Rasool Jabr / Computer Engineering Technology To learn more about the 3D Medical Printing Development Hub project cases – visit the following case links: Link 1: Personalized Facial Implant Design Prototype for Trauma Patient Link 2: Custom Hip Implant for Advanced Osteoarthritis Patient Link 3: Custom Prosthetic Fingers for a Child with Congenital Hand Deformity    

Developing a Stable Nanotechnology-based Gas Sensor

The University of Warith Al-Anbiyaa (PBUH) announced the achievement of an innovative patent in the field of technology, by developing a stable gas sensor based on nanotechnology. The sensor accurately and effectively detects ammonia gas at room temperatures. The new sensor is based on a network of multi-walled nanotubes activated with hydroxide (MWCNTs-OH), ensuring high stability and accuracy in detecting ammonia gas. This patent is an important step towards developing smart and advanced gas detection technologies, and highlights the role of scientific research in achieving progress and innovation in the fields of science and technology. 

Warith Al-Anbiyaa Receives the Golden Medal for a Patent

Dr. Hakim Samawi Al-Jubouri, an assistant professor and researcher at the College of Engineering, received recognition for his involvement in a new patent at the International Conference on Patents and Industrial Designs, as well as the Golden Medal and the Creativity Medal. The French International Centre for Scientists and Inventors at the Universities of Halabja and Sulaymaniyah was in charge of organising the conference. Assistant Professor Dr. Hakim Samawi Al-Jubouri stated: "We presented a scientific poster bearing the name of the University of Warith Al-Anbiyaa (PBUH), a brief overview of the patent, and an important introduction to the university's colleges and departments that seemed well-known among the important universities as part of our participation in the conference." "These scientific activities—participating in scientific conferences and seminars in other universities—are considered very important to raise the university's classification and raise its name among the names of reputable universities," Al-Jubouri continued.
