Our Projects
We have partnered with Moja Global and Makerere University, with funding from Google AI, to predict the evolution of deforestation in a spatial zone. To achieve this, we're using machine learning techniques such as time series forecasting and Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) on satellite images, along with ground reports collected by Makerere University. Our aim is to provide stakeholders with better insights to make informed policy choices regarding climate change. By leveraging our expertise in machine learning and data analysis, we hope to make a positive impact in addressing deforestation and promoting sustainable land use
In collaboration with Prof. SN Tripathi of IIT Kanpur and the National Clean Air Programme (NCAP) of the Ministry of Environment, Government of India, we developed a machine learning model to predict levels of pollutants such as PM2.5 and PM10 over time and space in Delhi-NCR. Our model incorporated various data sources, including weather and traffic, using time series forecasting and Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) techniques. This model is expected to aid in devising policy interventions to protect citizens' health from the negative effects of poor air quality.
We used Twitter data to study the surge in hospitalization volumes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our work was focused on India, Indonesia, and Bangladesh for the scope of this study, with plans to extend this approach to other geographies in South-East Asia. The aim was to identify incidents of overcrowding at hospitals, shortage of critical equipment like ventilators, and lack of available ICU units. This system can help understand the medical preparedness levels of the health facilities in these countries and the burden on their hospitals as the pandemic spreads.
Our project, in partnership with Care India and funded by Google AI, aims to address the pressing issue of infant mortality in Bihar, where access to proper healthcare is limited, and there is a severe shortage of doctors. To help combat this issue, we are developing an AI-enabled anomaly detection and protocol recommendation system for midwives and nurses, who often lack the necessary resources and training to handle complicated cases on their own. By leveraging AI technology, we hope to provide real-time guidance to healthcare providers in the absence of qualified doctors, ultimately improving health outcomes for mothers and infants in Bihar.
We were tasked with developing a partnership model for Navjyoti India Foundation, which provides education and skill training. Our first step was to study successful partnership models globally and map them against various indicators. We aim to develop a low-cost, high-impact, scalable, and sustainable model that aligns with Navjyoti's goals. Additionally, we will work on creating a data management dashboard and devising entrepreneurship training strategies.
Aomics GmbH is a German based healthtech company, specialised in the area of Immunoinformatics and precision oncology by leveraging the power of AI and multi-omics data. ICG is helping Aomics to build a product that predicts which available therapy is best suited for a cancer patient based on their multi-omics data derived from tumour micro environment (TME). We are automating the task of collecting Tumour Micro Environment (TME) data and building machine learning (ML)-based models to train them on the available dataset.
