NIT-AP students use Deep Tech to develop software that offers cost-effective solution
Students of the National Institute of Technology Andhra Pradesh (NIT-AP) have developed a ‘WiFi- mounted micro-controller’ that can integrate sensors for smart harvesting of rainwater. This system can automate the process of storing water, reducing water-borne diseases, improving storage efficiency. To address water shortage in Indian cities by deploying Deep Tech such as IoT (Internet of Things) and Machine Learning, the students from Team LinkLer have developed an end-to-end software stack that provides an easy interface to manage and control in-house water resources.More Related News

Under the NBS, newborns are screened for communication disorders before they are discharged from the hospital. For this, AIISH has collaborated with several hospitals to conduct screening which is performed to detect hearing impairment and other developmental disabilities that can affect speech and language development. The screening has been helping in early intervention for those identified with the disorders, as any delay in the identification poses risk and affects successful management of children with hearing loss, according to AIISH.
