Kalyani, G. Kavya Sree, and Yalla Madhuri aged 17 years from MJPAPBCWREIS School and Jr. College, Thanam, Andhra Pradesh have combined their passion for technology and public health to create a groundbreaking AI project. Motivated by a desire to save lives in urban areas, they developed ‘Emergency Medical Care’, an award-winning solution that addresses the urgent need for immediate medical assistance in accident-prone city zones.
Their hardwork and dedication towards public safety made them the well-deserving award winners for MJF Livelihood and Sustainability Award in Codeavour 5.0 International. This award was presented by Motwani Jadeja Foundation, an organisation aimed at empowering young entrepreneurs in India and beyond through their fellowships, direct investments and partnerships. They also provided the ‘Rajeev Motwani Fellowship Program’ under which the top 20 students from the senior group aged 15+ got the opportunity to attend the Fab 24 Event in Mexico!
AI Project: Emergency Medical Care (Strengthening the Health Infrastructure)
‘Emergency Medical Care’ is a revolutionizing AI project designed to deliver automatic emergency medical aid to people in urban areas. Using the PictoBlox’s AI coding and machine learning environment, the students developed a sophisticated prototype with features like automatic door opening and closing, ointment application, and bandage wrapping. Essential components of this project include the Quarky board, alcoholic sensors, servo motors, and relay modules, all seamlessly integrated using the PictoBlox platform.
The prototype functions through servo motors and relay modules, with various sections tailored to specific emergency situations such as accidents, fainting, asthma, and wound care. Upon pressing the start button, users can select the required emergency aid, which then triggers the appropriate automated response. The system’s doors open to provide access to medicine and automatically close afterward. For wound cleaning, a relay module activates a water pump, while servo motors handle the application of ointment and wrapping of bandages. An additional feature includes an alcoholic sensor that detects alcohol levels and dispenses medication to curb alcohol dependence.
The prototype includes advanced medical supplies such as first aid boxes and CPR kits, making it a crucial tool in accident-prone areas.
Journey to Success
Kalyani, Yalla Madhuri, and G. Kavya Sree, each raised in families that nurtured their educational and technical interests, played pivotal roles in the success of their project. Kalyani’s early passion for technology, Madhuri’s fascination with coding, and Kavya’s deep knowledge of technical fields were instrumental in overcoming the challenges they faced.
Balancing school exams with project preparation, the trio tackled difficulties in coding and assembly, learning from their experiences. Their dedication and resilience culminated in the creation of an innovative prototype that not only won them national recognition but also led to their victory at Codeavour International 5.0.
The Pillars of Strength Behind Their Victory
Behind the remarkable success of the ‘Emergency Medical Care’ project stands their unwavering belief in their children’s potential played a crucial role in the project’s development and eventual triumph.
Kalyani’s parents fostered her fascination with technology, providing her with the emotional and moral support needed to pursue her dreams. Recognizing Madhuri’s keen interest in software development, her parents supported her endeavors, ensuring she had the resources and motivation to tackle the complex challenges the project presented.
Kavya Sree’s father and her mother encouraged her to explore her technical and scientific interests from a young age. Their unwavering support and encouragement helped Kavya gain the comprehensive knowledge and expertise crucial to the project’s success.
Additionally, the guidance of Maheswari Peruri, appointed by STEMpedia as the lab trainer, was invaluable. Her mentorship and expertise significantly contributed to the project’s success. Furthermore, STEMpedia played a crucial role in setting up the lab and providing the necessary tools and knowledge, creating an environment where the students could thrive and innovate.
Vision for Expanding Impact
The students plan to expand their project to reach a broader audience, incorporating more interactive elements and scaling the prototype for wider use in urban areas. They plan to see ‘Emergency Medical Care’ integrated into city health infrastructure to provide immediate medical aid in emergencies, ultimately saving more lives and reducing the impact of accidents. The success of P. Kalyani, G. Kavya Sree, and Yalla Madhuri’s ‘Emergency Medical Care’ project is a testament to the power of innovation and determination. Their journey highlights the importance of nurturing young talent and supporting their efforts to use technology for the greater good.
