VAIPE – An Intelligent Healthcare System for Vietnamese People, nurtured by Smart Health Center has been announced to be the winner of AI Awards 2022. It is also the AI-based product to receive the highest votes in the award this year.
The AI Awards is part of AI4VN 2022 – Vietnam’s AI Fair, hosted by VnExpress under the guidance of the Ministry of Science and Technology. The award is sponsored by Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) in Australia, with the total budget of $AUD 16.5 million for technology development in Vietnam in the period of 2018-2022. A representative from VinUni shared their future plans after receiving the award, “We will continue to work on the project to bring out the best-quality product, develop AI core technologies and promote the use of the product in the community”.
VAIPE provides a mobile application that collects, manages, and analyzes personal health data, as well as automatically identifies medications from pill images. Personal information (i.e. heart rate, blood pressure, height index, current medication) will be collected and analyzed, in order to ensure safe use of medication, provide warning in case of wrong medication, and detect early signs of severe diseases. VAIPE makes use of the latest technology in artificial intelligence (AI) and data science, ensuring low-cost as well as mass and easy accessibility for the community.
Dr. Pham Huy Hieu, Deputy Director of VinUni-Illinois Smart Health Center, co-leader of the project, shared: “This solution provides automatic and accurate data analysis, which is superior to other existing methods”.
The team is planning to work with third parties to integrate this solution into smart medical and telemedicine platforms by providing the core technology for partners to deploy at large scale. “It is expected that the beta version will be available by the end of 2022 and test evaluation available within 6 months”, said Dr. Pham Huy Hieu.
