Seattle, May 7: Indian talent is well appreciated and honored throughout the world. So, putting another jewel in India’s talent, Faridabad based Indian team wins the 2nd position in the Microsoft’s Imagine Cup World Championship on May 6.
The three-member team from Faridabad's Manav Rachna Institute of Research and Studies developed “Caeli”, which means ‘air’ in Latin, a smart automated anti-pollution and drug delivery mask designed for asthmatic and chronic respiratory patients.
“Caeli” implements advanced features to improve the quality of life for respiratory patients living in polluted areas.
The world championship was organized on the first day of the annual Microsoft Build conference.
On this occasion, Aakash Bhadana from the “Caeli” team said, “At a time when air pollution is a big concern in various countries including India, we are collecting the real-time air pollution data that can be used by relevant stakeholders and the Indian government. They can integrate our application programme interfaces (APIs) into their projects and gain more insights”.
Bhadana with Vasu Kaushik and Bharat Sunday developed the product under the guidance of Umesh Dutta and the team at Manav Rachna Research Innovation and Incubation Centre (MRIIC).
Named as “Olympics of Technology”, Imagine Cup is a global annual competition sponsored and hosted by Microsoft. Over the past 10 years, more than 1.65 million students from over 190 countries have participated in the “Imagine Cup”.
