Two Indian College Students Build AI That Helps Patients When Doctor Is Not Available

In India, healthcare is an issue not because it's hard for people of lower economic status to afford. Often times, it's hard to even find a doctor or hospital in a remote rural area. That's why this particular piece of new technology could be incalculably valuable. Shivanshu Mathur and Raghav Jain, two students pursuing their BTech in Computer Science Engineering at Lovely Professional University, have won the second prize at the NEC India Hackathon 2019 organized by HackerEarth. They received a cash prize of Rs. 1.5 lakh for developing a software they call Medikare.
