Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], September 6: Is Innovation only limited to IIT, NIT, or IISc students? Well, think again. Gone are the days when innovation was confined to professional institutions. Meet Saanvi, a class 8 student from Bengaluru, who is grabbing attention with her remarkable invention. Saanvi used Machine Learning (ML) algorithms, problem-solving and critical thinking fundamentals to develop the prototype. "My idea was to leverage the power of artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning techniques to improve the accuracy and efficiency of my prototype. I collected a large dataset of brain MRI images from various sources, including public domains and Kaggle, to train and validate the model," says a confident Saanvi Nyamagoud.

Saanvi plans to broaden the spectrum beyond detection of single disease. With assistance from YuviPep's mentors, she intends to refine the prototype through training using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model. This enhancement aims to seamlessly integrate it into clinical practices, offering a crucial resource for the early identification of brain tumours, cancers, and other medical conditions. "By assisting radiologists in precisely recognising MRI images, it can enhance patient outcomes by enabling prompt diagnosis and timely treatment. Additionally, the model can be scaled up to predict tumour characteristics, grading, and other ailments and monitor treatment effectiveness and disease advancement," says Saanvi.

"We are on a mission to improve students' logical reasoning and critical thinking skills to make science learning more application-oriented and to encourage the next generation of young innovators like Saanvi.," said Sourav Roy, Lead Innovation Specialist of YuviPep. Moreover, YuviPep's students have showcased their creative power with projects like the Smart Gas Leakage Detector, Pet-Friendly Automatic Door, and Anti-Theft Mechanism for their own houses.
