transplantation. As the patient did not have matching liver donor from his
family he was listed for deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT) and was
kept on optimal medical management.</span></div>

participated in Smart India Hackathon – 2019 and stood first in the Complex
Problem category put forward by India Health Link in order to come up with an
innovative way to bring up a healthier India by harnessing the power of social
networks. The team developed a social network that is based on health
parameters which is seamlessly integrated with wearables and other devices for
data collection. Also, it suggests ways to improve health for each person by
using Neural Networks. The likes of Xiaomi Mi Band 2, Apple Watch, Fitbit
Charge etc. were seamlessly integrated for data collection.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Also, the team came up with a very innovative idea to
use an Android Phone’s camera to measure Heart Rate, Breath Rate, Oxygen
Saturation, Systolic Pressure and Diastolic Pressure. These metrics were
collected and sent to server to train the ML model further for improved
accuracy in suggestions. A completely user friendly dashboard was developed by
the team, which worked without any hassles on all platforms. Emphasize on
Mobile First strategy was praised by the judges as India has evidently higher
proportion of smartphone users. Dashboard was integrated with a chat boat which
could help users to clear basic doubts regarding the usage of the platform.
Also, talk to a mentor was an attention seeking feature which enabled users to
meet a mentor from the health industry via live video chat for further
information.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

business model. The entire team was offered internships and extended
opportunities by multiple companies after having hands-on experience with the
product.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
