Faculty of Social Sciences, The 9th Engineering Inno Show / By

Float aims to enhance cultural immersion by connecting travellers with local natives worldwide through a gamified ‘Message in a Bottle’ feature. Float serves as a cultural compass — whether it’s for assembling a futon in a Japanese Ryokan or gaining trustworthy insights while traversing India. By integrating AI with human expertise, Float provides instant reliable translations, encouraging cultural understanding and user engagement through features like polls and threads, connecting learners with native speakers for a genuine exchange of language and culture.

Generative AI & 3D Avatar

Faculty of Social Sciences, The 9th Engineering Inno Show / By

Content creators face challenges in maintaining active engagement due to time constraints and increasing audience sizes, which make personalized interactions difficult. Current platforms like Discord and Twitch require direct creator involvement, making scalability a challenge. Our solution, iVatar, is a web and mobile application that utilizes AI and customizable avatars to enhance audience interaction. It allows creators to design avatars that can independently communicate using the creator’s voice and style. These avatars can operate on multiple platforms, offering a wider reach. iVatar also features an interactive chat dashboard for managing the chatbot’s knowledge base and includes voice cloning for more engaging conversations. Content creators retain full ownership and control over their chatbots, ensuring personalized and interactive communication.

StoryGPT

Faculty of Social Sciences, The 8th Engineering Inno Show / By

StoryGPT is a therapeutic storytelling tool with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Cognitive Bias Modification – Interpretation (CBM-I) to help the users to improve their mental illness. In the beginning, users are required to input their concerns into the tool. StoryGPT will provide relevant information for the users to understand his/her current mental health status. For example, if an undergraduate commits suicide due to a relationship, StoryGPT will assess whether the users will have a high probability to diagnose with depression or bipolar.

We anticipate that StoryGPT could provide a confidential and safe platform for users to analyse several sufferings. Simultaneously, we would like to provide positive life directions to users with AI and CBM-I therapy.

WHALE

Faculty of Social Sciences, UG Pitching 2022 / By

Project WHALE is aiming at unleashing the potential of technology to bridge the communication gap between caregiver and children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Target audiences include individuals with ASD experiencing sensory abnormalities and their caregivers. These children may not be able to express their feelings and needs while caregivers also find it difficult to correctly identify the needs of them. To ease this problem, we propose developing the sensory wristband and the caring mobile application. The key features of the sensory wristband include recording environmental data and monitoring the internal physiological and emotional states of the children with ASD. We plan to incorporate multiple sensors including Photoplethysmogram and Galvanic Skin Response Sensor to measure internal states and external environment. For the caring mobile application designed for caregiver, the app will alert caregiver when the children with ASD feel highly aroused. The highlight feature is providing personalised report specifying possible triggers arousing children with ASD through adopting algorithms to cross-reference the anomaly with environmental stimuli to locate probable causes and provide preclinical advice. Major impact is to allow caregiver to understand more about the challenges going through by the children with ASD and provide more suitable help in correct timing.

Delivery of medical equipment with drones

Faculty of Social Sciences, The 4th Engineering InnoShow / By

Our project seeks to alleviate some of the health threats in Southeast Asia due to limited access to roads and healthcare facilities. It suggests the use of drones to deliver medical supplies. The design of our drone service differs from existing companies because it proposes larger service areas, incoporates the idea of a telemedicine service to reduce the need to travel for medical consultation, focuses on a supplier-to-patient network structure rather than a supplier-to-hospital network structure, and suggests using public health centers and small clinics as delivery centers if patients do not have access to phones or the internet.

Using drones to deliver medical products

Faculty of Social Sciences, UG Pitching 2021 / By

It is a project application proposal that aims to alleviate some of the health threats in Southeast Asia due to low road access and sparse amount of healthcare facilities. It suggests the use of drone networks for medical supply delivery. The design of our drone service differs from existing companies in operation because it proposes new service areas of greater geographical scale (Cambodia, Myanmar, and Indonesia), it incorporates the idea of a telemedicine service to reduce the need to travel for medical consultation, it focuses on a supplier-to-patient network structure rather than a supplier-to-hospital network structure, and it proposes using public health centers and small clinics as delivery centers in the event that patients do not have access to phone or internet. All of these ideas help innovate medical drone services that are already in existence, and would help to increase medical access even more acutely.
