In this competition, the M-CARE Team brought a machine learning-based mobile app to support the mental healthcare system in reducing the impact of mental health problems.
Under the guidance of Dr. Ir. Femiana Gapsari M. F. ST., MT., the team consisting of Janu Andrean, Clarissa Ratusima Arifi, Faris Idan Auliarahman, Kelvin Lowenchris, Michael Kelvin, and Sa Bashkaran Adi Warman brought the theme of mental health because currently, it is still very far from good.
“Apart from the lack of public awareness of mental health, access to assistance for sufferers is also lacking,” explained Janu representing the team.
This application, he continued, will assist in solving problems not only for people who have mental health problems but also help educate the public regarding the importance of maintaining mental health.
WYIE itself is a research competition to encourage creativity and innovation for young researchers. The competition is organized by MINDS (Malaysian Invention and Design Society) and is the annual flagship event of ITEX (International Invention, Innovation, and Technology Exhibition). [humasFT]
