Banglore : Entertaining educational games and kiosks with wearable medical equipment were some of the highlights at the India finals of Microsoft’s Imagine Cup Student Competition 2010.
Team RSS from Vivekanand Education Society’s Institute of Technology, Chembur, was adjudged the first runners-up. Their project focused on providing medical assistance in rural areas through a network of medical kiosks equipped with portable/wearable medical equipment. “The kiosk will be equipped with communication services to effectively transmit information wherever needed. Primary healthcare centres will have basic facilities and will be manned by paramedical staff,” said Shailesh Lohia, a team member.
