Mylan Hackathon Develops Innovative Problem Solving Mechanisms for Healthcare Challenges

0

The world of technology is moving faster than ever – thanks to the invention of artificial intelligence. Today, technology is no more just about accessing information and compiling data but rather about changing the way we live our lives.

Major tech companies across the globe are fighting various challenges posed to humanity and they’re able to fight these challenges via artificial intelligence -which enables our lives to be not bound by any sort of shackles. In a similar bid to work towards change, the city of Bengaluru recently had the Mylan hackathon.

Having gotten the opportunity to cover the event up close and personally, I have got a lot to share with you. This hackathon was related primarily to the medical field – which is arguably the most important in our lives. Even the slightest development in the medical field impacts thousands, if not more lives.

Mylan – the company which organized this event is a pharmaceutical company. They have got a solid vision for our global world, which is to provide top-notch healthcare medicines to the world’s population. The Mylan company as a brand takes pride in being one of the rarest companies in this segment of business to host a hackathon. You’d usually not come across this mix and match of pharma with tech but when the world is moving at a tech pace, why not pharma!

The energy at the Mylan hackathon was one that gave a sense of extreme positivity. With 62 teams participating in this unique event, you could sense how each individual of these teams was thinking out of the box and indulging in something that was an idea that could potentially impact and change lives.

The event compromised of 5 key challenges, out of which the participants were supposed to pick just one. The challenges, in brief, were as follows : –

  1. Tracking Mylan products: the idea of shipments going from one country to another without proper record keeping is a nightmare. The supply routes of these medicines is often complex and full of ends wherein there’s very little the company can do to tap into exact location. The participants were asked to create a system which could effectively manage this supply chain system and enable tracking to ensure timely delivery of medicines across the globe.
  2. Patient post-medicine usage tracking: in developing parts of the world, the tracking of a medicine post its launch and impact on consumers are often not ideal. The system should be stern to check the maximum benefit of the medicine and how able it is to solve the disease at hand. In order to fight this problem, the participants were asked to come up with ideas of proper patient tracking.
  3. Reporting from consumers: it is very easy to understand but yet difficult to implement task I.e. consumer feedback upon purchase of a medicine. In India, many people of old age often take medicines that don’t suit them or results in side effects. The medicine manufacturer has very little idea of the event and with no knowledge of it; there’s nothing done to curb the problem. The participants were asked to prepare a mechanism where apart from the email that is written at the back of the cover, the consumers could find an easier way to contact the medicine manufacturer regarding the side effects.
  4. Technology backed diagnosis: the participants had to come up with ideas of how early cancer detection – purely based on technology can be implemented. It is a fact that many people in India – due to their remote locations are unable to meet a doctor at the right time and by the time they do come into the metro cities and get checked, they’re at a stage where it gets very difficult to help them survive. It’ll be life-saving if a mechanism can be created which automatically detects reports without the location of resources problem.
  5. Tuberculosis: it is a disease that has taken many lives in India. 60,000 children in India died in 2015 due to TB. The income groups that are most impacted are below the middle-class range. The problem why TB deaths are so high in India is because there is a great lack of knowledge on this disease. Even those children who recover from TB (after 6months or 1 year) stop taking the requisite medicines and are then found to be suffering from DR-TB

The event was a massive success since it saw a participation of over 550 individuals in 62 teams. Out of this, the event saw 252 members being shortlisted for the final challenge. The final challenge was held on the 13th and the 14th of October.

The second day saw the teams decreasing from 62 to the final shortlisted tally of 45. The teams were required to come up with their unique problem-solving skills to combat the above quotes 5 problems. They were judged on certain key parameters like : –

  1. Uniqueness
  2. Radical Thinking
  3. Other technical and non-technical aspects

After this round, the last and final round saw 10 teams being selected. From 62 to 45 to 10 – the battle was tough but the quality of ideas and what was at stake – the ability to change how the pharma world works; was keeping the energy levels very high in the Mylan Hackathon.

The problem solving via innovative mechanisms focused on key areas like : 

  1. Blockchain
  2. Artificial Intelligence
  3. Imaging Science

Through providing unique and innovative ideas to combat the problem of tuberculosis in India, the professional hackathon was won by team Smart from Atos – receiving a grand prize money of Rs 1,00,000.

In the student’s category, Sri Sairam Institute of Technology came out victorious with providing solutions on the Mylan ARV drugs tracking of supply chain problem. They received the prize money of Rs 1,00,000.

In the employee’s category, team Shamiroh won the prize money of Rs1,00,000 as well for coming up with key solutions on early cancer detection and diagnosis.

Thus, a great Hackathon concluded. As an audience to the event, one could get the feeling of where the world of medicine and technology are together headed. The possibilities are endless and this Mylan Hackathon only goes to show how AI can open countless amount of doors to improve human life in the coming years.

The next best thing in the world of 3D printing: 3Dsimo MultiPro

3Dsimo Inc., the manufacturer of 3D pens and multifunctional devices, recently revealed their newest product, the MultiPro, which is already available for pre-order. The brand-new multifunctional tool was unveiled at the Maker Faire trade show in New York and targets not only 3D printing lovers but also makers. Behind the project stands a team with 6 years of experience; as well as a plethora of priceless feedback from customers.

3Dsimo MultiProisn’t just another 3D pen, capable of doing one thing only, but a multifunctional tool for complex use. It’s a great accessory for any proud owner of a 3D printer as a tool for finishing your prints or even repairing them.

4 Powerful Extensions In 3Dsimo:

3Dsimo

The device comes with following extensions in the base package:

  • 3D Drawing: extension has 12 material presets for the most common materials available on the market, including ABS, PLA, Flex, PETG, Metal, Wood. All relevant information is shown on the front OLED display. Another great feature is that you can change the speed of extrusion; as well as the temperature of the nozzle outside the preset. This can be done either directly on the device or by using a mobile application. The 3Dsimo MultiPro can be connected with a mobile device via a special app, and it allows you to update the firmware for new 3D printing materials or in case new extensions for the device come out. This extension uses a ø1.75-mm filament, and you can use materials for your 3D printer as well (meaning you can use any material).
  • Foam Cutting: The way these extension works is via a resistance wire cutting technique, meaning that a resistance wire heats up to high temperatures, allowing it to slice through plastic and foam materials like a knife through butter. The maximum cutting dimension is almost doubled compared to the previous device, the 3Dsimo Mini, and it’s also equipped with a support plate that will help you cut at a certain angle. A simple, yet useful little tweak that will make working with this extension a much easier experience. It’s also possible to regulate the heat of the wire as a percentage of the total power.
  • Soldering: This extension is mostly for soldering and welding. It can fully replace a budget soldering station (in the price range of $80 to $100). The temperature of the tip is adjustable and can reach up to 450 °C.
  • Burning: The tip for this extension comes in 3 variants, which can also be purchased separately, and all of them can serve multiple purposes, such as finishing and smoothing 3D prints or burning into wood and leather. The maximum temperature is 450 °C.

Built-In Tutorials and Easy-to-Use Attachments

The entire device shows the emphasis on craftsmanship and ease of use.

For example, when you attach a new extension for the first time, a tutorial will appear on the display, which will walk you through the use of the device; as well as show you which button serves which purpose. A tutorial can be finished in 2 minutes, after which you will be an experienced user. The tutorials save you the time needed to read the manual beforehand; or offer help when you’re out of solutions for a particular problem.  

One can also appreciate how easy it is to remove an extension by simply pressing one button, and it only takes a click-in to insert a new one. It’s a rigid and stable way of holding the extension in place.

Changing the tips on the Soldering and Burning extensions is also a triviality, because everything is solved with the use of a light bulb thread.

And that’s not all, as the 3Dsimo MultiPro is an extendable platform;  in the future, it will become any tool you might need in your home, something like a modern Swiss Army knife.

It will be able to clamp any small drill bit as well as any sanding or polishing tool. It will not, however, be a substitute for an impact drill.
  • Hot Air Gun: This will be an awesome tool for removing small imperfections on 3D prints as well as for bending and other modifications of 3D prints. Last but not least, it will have enough power for soldering SMD components.
  • Jigsaw: With this extension, you’ll be able to cut through plywood, laminate, plasterboard, aluminium, and any plastic material.

If you’re looking for a top quality programming service provider, you should think about a Polish company. Today Polish providers are considered one of the best on the market and are highly valued by foreign customers.

Poland has very good technical universities, so the graduates stand out with their broad knowledge and skills. What is more, Poland is up to date with innovations and trends, so the specialists are familiar with the most recent technologies.

Polish specialists, especially in the field of information technology, present an advanced level of the English language, so you don’t have to worry about any problems with communication. Their spoken and written skills are both at a very high level, so the correspondence and meetings can be smoothly conducted in this language.

Many Polish software companies have already carried out projects for multinational enterprises, so our specialists have foreign projects in their portfolios and extensive experience in this respect. They are not afraid on taking up new challenges, and the cooperation with the businesses from abroad is not a novelty for them, so you can be sure the projects will be effectively carried out at an international level.

Another reason why you should consider the offer of programming service providers based in Poland is a competitive price.

Poland is one of the countries, where multinational companies search for service providers. Another popular locations include India or Asian countries. However, you have to bear in mind that there will be many cultural differences between your employees and the specialists from these regions. They may turn out to be very difficult to overcome, and may hinder the communication and make cooperation really difficult. That is why it’s better to avoid this risk, and choose a Polish company. 

9 Factors You Should Consider Before You Hire A Developer

According to the publisher of the Forbes magazine, Malcolm Forbes: “Never hire someone who knows less than you do about what he’s hired to do.” This is completely true as hiring the best tech talent from the market is a challenging task for most of the entrepreneurs and start-up geeks.

But this whole process of finding and hiring the best developers from the market is very time-consuming and tedious. In order to make this task easier for you, let’s take a look at the top nine factors that you should consider when hiring developers for your business.

1. Consider To Hiring Developer Who Are A “Good Fit” For Your Project

Before beginning, it is crucial for you to consider the software you are planning to build as a building and the potential developer, you are going to hire as the contractor hired to build that building. You won’t simply select any potential developer, but you have to scrutinize several profiles and consider picking the one that suits your specific business needs.

Hire a developer online that has an extensive experience of working on projects similar to yours. Evaluate the reviews given by their past clients. Also, check whether they clearly understand your vision. Ultimately, your sole motive should be hiring a software developer you feel at ease collaborating and corresponding with.

2. Address Common Concerns Like Language Barriers & Time Zone Difference Efficiently

You should always hire a developer who is willing to have an open channel of communication with you as and when you require. They should be able to interact with you properly and chalk out the entire plan for executing your project effectively.

In addition, it is also crucial for you to address the difference in the time zone in case if it’s the case with your developer. Decide the time and mode of communication in advance so that there will be no issues that you will have to face in the future while interacting with your development partner.

3. Respect The Different Styles & Ways Of Coding Of Potential Programmers

Being a non-programmer, one of the most significant things you should consider when hiring a developer is that they could have different styles and ways of coding in accordance with their respective expertise and preferences. Their approach towards coming to a conclusion can be different.

But you should look for a developer who is capable to write a code that can be easily accessed and understood by the other programmers. It should not be complex and you should have the flexibility to work on it and scale it the way you want.

For example, the companies like Netflix have the culture to hire employees who are capable to take decisions independently and share their opinions openly with their peers. The kind of work culture you want to follow depends upon the goals and objectives of your business.

4. Be Specific About The Functionality That You Need From Your End Product

You should be more concerned about how your app will interact with the end users. Be very clear about the functionality you want from your application. Also, evaluate how the potential programmer is planning to come up with optimal solutions that meet your needs and your budget.

However, it is good for you to have the basic knowledge of software development and familiarity with the process of how to create an app. It will help you in picking the best candidate.

But you have to remember one thing that developers write more than just code, they are valuable contributors who share their own creative ideas and concepts to build your digital product efficiently.

5. Have A Thorough Understanding Of The Tools You Require For Development

It is essential for you to software architectural planning even if you belong to a non-developer domain. You should have the knowledge of all the tools and technologies you require to build your digital product such as the programming language, databases, frameworks, etc.

In order to get a better idea of which tools are suitable for your project to browse various articles and blogs about software development and understand the basics so that it will be easier for you to hire the right programmer to code for you and build a high-end solution.

6. Always Consider Scalability

You can’t restrict yourself in terms of creating a software for enhancing the power of your business. Always consider scalability and keep in mind that your software should be having the potential to evolve with your brand.

It makes it essential for you to hire the programmer who is willing to support you in terms of scalability of your digital product and is ready to provide you with all the support and maintenance services once your solution is launched.

7. Pay Attention To Prototyping & Rigorous Testing

Do not ever rush to take a decision when hiring a developer for your business. But be calm and give preference to the developers who give importance to prototyping and testing as these both are two crucial parts of the software development process.

The development partner, you are hiring should not be in a hurry to get your product to the market. But they should be capable to polish your end product and handle all the issues efficiently before the launch so that you can be sure of getting a rewarding output.

8. Hire The Programmers Who Are Well-Versed With The Constantly Changing Technology World

The technology world is constantly changing and new tools and techniques keep coming every day. This fact makes it essential for you to pick the developers who participate actively in keeping themselves updated with the freshest dose of technology.

They should have a niche expertise and should be a part of various online forums and communities that are meant to associate tech enthusiasts and let them express and share their innovative ideas and concepts.

9. Try To Link Your Development & Design Teams

In case you are building a piece of software such as a website or an app that has a user interface along with it, then it becomes mandatory for you to focus on the fact that any design work will highly be effected with the development work.

Try to link your development and design teams together so that they can easily communicate to check whether all the components are working well. A feedback loop between these two teams can be extremely helpful for doing any kind of modifications in order to improvise the end product.

When hiring a developer, you should pay attention to the above-mentioned details and focus on hiring the one who is a perfect fit for fulfilling all your specific project and business requirements.

Make the decision based on what is better for your company and make sure to offer both a friendly atmosphere and lucrative compensation packages so that to retain your developer in the long-run.

The Best Smartphones for Children and Teenagers

0

It’s simply the case that children are getting their hands on technology earlier and earlier, as parents look for new ways to entertain their children and introduce them to aspects of life that will be commonplace by the time they’re older. While this may be a cause for concern for some – with fears that too much tech too soon will have a detrimental effect on our young people – smartphone manufacturers have started to produce models that are specifically designed for children. This means that parents can introduce their children to the wonders of technology without having to worry about the more ‘adult’ aspects of smartphone ownership.

But how can you tell which is the best child-friendly smartphone model for your child? We’ll look at some of the best examples on the market, breakdown the specs and costs, to help you make the right decision for your family.

For the Under 10s

Potentially the hardest age group to buy the right smartphone for, parents want to make sure that their children have limited access to the internet and apps, and that overall time of the phone can be monitored.

Monqi Kids Smartphone – £149

The clue’s in the name – and it doesn’t get more basic than this. Designed to be your child’s first smartphone, the Monqi is cheap and cheerful, boasting very few modern features that could harm or confuse a young user. One of the biggest advantages of the Monqi is its range of parental control options, meaning that you can limit access to applications and the internet, as well as being able to control call and text limits through your payment plan. Furthermore, the majority of the software on the Monqi is controlled directly from a parent’s phone, through a special app, meaning that you can see how much time your child is spending on their device.

Vodafone Smart Prime 7 – £69

If you’re looking for a budget-friendly option, the Vodafone Smart Prime 7 is definitely the phone for you and your child. While it maintains the traditional aesthetic of a smartphone, including a front- and rear-facing camera, touch screen, and apps, its stripped-back Android operating systems means that users will be limited in what they can and cannot access. There’s not so much for children to get overwhelmed by, and the relatively small memory capacity ensures that children cannot download games and apps as they please.

For Ages 10 – 14

This tends to be the age range when parents give children their first smartphone, coinciding with an increase in independence –  so it stands to reason that a smartphone at this age should offer a few more features.

Sony Xperia XA – £149.99

While Sony is synonymous with high-quality, top-tier smartphones, the Xperia XA is one of their mid-range models, offering the same quality in design and build, but with some stripped-back features that make it easy for young people to use. Children will still be able to access their favourite apps through Wi-Fi (and 4G if you choose to include it), such as games or YouTube, and the 720p display means that they’ll be able to get maximum enjoyment out of them.

Importantly for parents, the Xperia XA has several parental control features which allow you to monitor and control your child’s use. For example, you can restrict access to the internet and set a sleep feature which will make the phone inactive after a certain time.

Motorola Moto G4 – £169

As with the Sony Xperia XA, the mid-tier Motorola model offers a full range of applications, access to the Google Play store, and boasts a modern, slick design that looks at home among even more expensive devices. If your child is slightly older and starts to spend more time on their smartphone, the Moto G4’s HD display, improved processor, and increased storage capacity, is sure to suit their needs. However, while there are some parental control features, it doesn’t offer the same amount as other phones on the market, so this is recommended for tweens and early-teenagers.

Teenagers

By the time your children are teenagers they’ll be asking for the latest smartphone models available. However, there are plenty of alternatives that will satisfy their needs and save you some money!

Apple iPhone SE – £349

The iPhone may well be the undisputed king of the smartphone market, but there’s no denying that you have to pay for the quality. And for parents looking to get a teenager their first high-quality smartphone, spending £999 can be a lot to stomach. Luckily, Apple have a budget option in the iPhone SE, which still utilises all of the iOS software, just without all the bells and whistles. The larger memory, hi-res display, and 12-megapixel camera make it perfect for teenagers as they’ll be able to chat with friends, access social media, and enjoy their favourite apps.

Huawei Honor 8 – £249

The Huawei Honor 8 is the perfect mid-range smartphone; it has all the latest features that your child would expect, one of the best cameras on the market, and a sleek design with a variety of colour choices. The Honor 8 has 32GB storage capacity, which is more than enough for apps, games, and music – ensuring that all of the bases are covered! It also has a dual rear-facing camera, so your teenager’s Instagram snaps will always be on point.

If you’re looking to give your teenager full technological independence, with an inexpensive device that’s easy-to-use, the Honor 8 should be at the top of your list of choices.
