Aquib Ahmed Prottoy, a student of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) at the University of Dhaka, led Team Lub-Dub to win the championship at GP FutureMakers 2026, organised by Grameenphone.

The winning team comprises Aquib Ahmed Prottoy from the University of Dhaka, Raya Adiba Ahmed from Bangladesh University of Professionals (BUP) and Shahriar Ahmed from BRAC University.

The team developed EchoClip, an AI-powered device that can be attached to a regular stethoscope to detect possible heart problems within 20 seconds. The device uses AI models trained on more than 10,000 heart sound recordings to identify unusual heart sounds.

The team started with a basic prototype and improved it through several rounds of testing. They also tested the device with doctors and made changes based on their feedback.

The competition was held under the theme ‘AI for Social Good’, with more than 7,000 students participating from over 70 educational institutions across Bangladesh. A total of 1,103 ideas were submitted.

Team Lub-Dub received Tk 300,000 as the champion’s prize, along with direct qualification opportunities for Grameenphone’s Next Business Leader and Nextern Internship programmes.
