All India Council for Robotics and Automation (AICRA) hashonoured 3rd year Biomedical Engineering student Kunwar Sahi of LovelyProfessional University (LPU) for the ‘Best Innovation in ArtificialIntelligence Hardware’ in his Startup- ‘NeuroX Technologies’. This occasion wasNITI Aayog (Govt. of India) supported 2nd edition of ‘Global ArtificialIntelligence Summit & Awards (GAISA)-2021’ organized by AICRA. Sahi wasnominated in three categories -- “Best Use of AI in Healthcare”, “Best use ofPredictive/Prescriptive Analytics” and '' Best Innovation in AI Hardware”.
In fact, a few years back, President Ram Nath Kovind hadwarned of a potential “mental health epidemic” in the country, with 10 percentof its 1.3 billion-strong population having suffered from one or more mentalhealth problems. Poor awareness of mental health symptoms, social stigma, andlack of adequate resources & facilities stop people from getting the helpthey need.
In this context, presently CEO of his Startup- ‘NeuroXTechnologies’, Sahi is determined to awaken the common masses and eradicate themental health problem. He is pursuing a major in biomedical engineering and aminor in psychology from LPU. Here, he has gained varied experience indifferent branches of technology such as ML/DL, Smart Biomedicine andE-Healthcare. He is also deft in ML, Python, JS and other computer languages;medical imaging systems and healthcare related courses. Thus, he has launched a‘Startup’ based on application of ML and IoT in Psychiatric care.
Student, researcher and innovator at LPU, Sahi explainsthat his device ‘NeuroX Technologies’ has two components-Software &Hardware. He has prepared a sort of questionnaire of 30 possible queries forthe physical and mental level of the patient. The software process forwardsthese to IoT, ML & AI components to diagnose the stress level of thepatient, possible range of its enhancement, and prescriptions thereof to easeit out. Further, in consultation with the specialist, a patient gets exact andbetter treatment.
Sahi also informs that a novel framework was required toaddress mental health issues while being highly patient specific; affordable;and, a reliable coordinator to clinicians. Hence, his ‘NeuroX Technologies’ isthere for the benefit of global society.
