Bennett University, Noida, and PES College of Engineering, Mandya teams bagged the first and second runners-up positions respectively
QuEST Global, an international product engineering services company, recently announced the winners of the 10th annual ‘Ingenium’ competition – an initiative aimed at fostering innovation and entrepreneurial mindset amongst engineering students.
The team from Bengaluru’s PES Institute of Technology won the first prize in the competition for its software concept that detects Parkinson’s disease at an early stage. Teams from Bennett University, Noida, and PES College of Engineering, Mandya bagged the first and second runners-up positions respectively.
This year’s winners were selected from over 6000 teams on the basis of uniqueness of their ideas, applicability in the real world, demonstrability and cost effectiveness.
The team members from PES Institute of Technology – Loganyaa Senthil, Niraj Anil Babar, and Rohan Pillai – created a software proposition to aid doctors in the early detection of Parkinson’s disease. It not only detects the disease but is also designed to predict the stage of the disease, helping doctors adopt the right course of treatment from an early stage.
The students from Bennett University developed solutions intended to effectively reduce the time of image search on the web.
The team from PES Mandya utilised artificial intelligence to create an advanced, cost-effective robot that acts as an assistant to primary healthcare providers in hospitals. The robot helps reduce front line workers' contact with patients by delivering medicines, basic health monitoring and delivering audio and video messages.
Shrikant Naik, global head delivery, QuEST Global, said, “Ingenium demonstrates QuEST’s commitment to investing in people and our community by providing young engineering talent a platform for experiential learning. The creativity, resiliency and uniqueness of the ideas presented by the students fuels my belief in the young engineering talent of our country.”
Ingenium demonstrates the company’s commitment to successfully utilise its engineering expertise to bridge the industry-academia gap and create a pool of a skilled workforce that will eventually help bridge the skill gap which currently looms over the industry. For the past 10 years, this annual forum has provided an opportunity to identify, support and nurture the skills of engineering students and help them live their dream of bringing their ideas to life.
