Mangaluru, Mar 11: Team AMIE from St Joseph Engineering College (SJEC), has secured a spot among the top 5 projects in the Karnataka edition of Anveshana 2023. The predictive model developed by the team that anticipates pregnancy health risks is placed fourth and has received Rs 15,000 as a cash prize. The grand finale, held at Sikshakara Bhavana, Bengaluru, from March 2–4, was organized by Synopsys and the Agasthya International Foundation. Anveshana has undergraduate engineering students as well as students from government and aided schools working together under the mentorship of the engineering college to develop proofs of concept or prototypes that are the culmination of engineering and science concepts.
Team AMIE developed an IoT wearable device, 3D printed at the SJEC-AICTE IDEA Lab, that collects vital information of pregnant woman. The model considers blood pressure, sugar level, heartbeat, sleep cycle, BMI, and medical history, to forecast potential health risks. The Amie app also connects patients with gynecologists and counselors, enabling them to book appointments online. The automated alerts and scheduling capabilities of the app facilitate healthcare support initiation in high-risk cases.
