(Dan Tri) - From memories of his grandmother during her hospital stay, a male student from Ung Hoa B High School and his teammates from Hanoi - Amsterdam High School have a project that has just won first prize at the Vietnam Artificial Intelligence Competition 2024.
Memories of Grandma and Medical Health AI Project
The research team includes Tran Khanh Thanh, a 12th grade student at Ung Hoa B High School, Hanoi, who is also the team leader. The remaining 4 contestants of the team are from Hanoi - Amsterdam High School for the Gifted, including 2 male students from the history class.
Sharing with Dan Tri reporter, Tran Khanh Thanh (student of Ung Hoa B High School, Hanoi) said that the group's project aims to help doctors understand the psychology and emotions of patients in the hospital room.
If previously, patients were monitored in hospital rooms through cameras, with this group's research, AI-based monitoring focuses on analyzing mouth shapes and body movements to make early predictions about the patient's health when they wake up.

Also from analyzing facial emotions, the second meaning of the work is that it can be applied to schools, to detect depression or psychological instability in students.
In addition to being applied in healthcare, thanks to facial gesture analysis, the project can be applied ineducation to analyze academic performance, classify students' abilities, and thereby apply lectures appropriate to each student's academic performance.
Khanh Thanh's father was a technical staff at a district hospital. Thanh was exposed to medical stories every day, witnessing the struggles of many patients in the hospital room.
In particular, an unforgettable memory for the male student is the story of his grandmother in a critical moment at the hospital many years ago.
"Sometimes the golden seconds after a patient wakes up are of great significance in healthcare. However, the lack of human resources, especially at the lower levels or in remote areas, makes patient care difficult.
With AI monitoring, we can take patient care to the next level, detect recovery earlier, and help patients seize the golden time," Thanh said.

History major, AI researcher and award winner
What is particularly interesting is that among the 5 members of this team, there are two male students majoring in history at Hanoi - Amsterdam School.
Dang Huy Khanh (deputy group leader), a 11th grade history major, said that although we majored in social sciences, thanks to our passion for robots, we were brought closer together.
"We got to know each other through the school's robotics club and other previous AI competitions. Right after the information about the "Vietnam Artificial Intelligence 2024" competition was announced, Tran Khanh Thanh and we started working together.
The difficulty is that Thanh studies in a suburban district school, very far from Hanoi - Amsterdam School. From discussing ideas to implementing them, we did everything online.

"The team members are all students and have never worked in a hospital, so in the first days of approaching the topic, we were really confused and stressed.
We searched for a lot of data online and labeled it for the AI. Each person had to label hundreds of faces a day, which was very stressful. After more than 2 months, we completed the data," said Dang Huy Khanh.
Mr. Tran Trong Dat, Tran Khanh Thanh's father, said that he is only a medical staff at a district hospital and cannot help his son much. Perhaps the most important thing he can help with is advising his children to do research related to medicine because it will help many people.
"I'm old, I don't know how to guide you with technology or artificial intelligence. You guys have tried very hard to win the prize," said Mr. Dat.
Commenting on this year's entries, Professor Thomas E. Patterson from Harvard University shared that AI not only changes the way of learning but also shapes creative thinking, preparing the young generation to face future challenges...
As a judge, he judged 27 projects, all of which were excellent, offering AI solutions, sharp competition ideas, and elaborate investments.
With the first prize this year, he was really surprised by how the students came up with that to do it effectively.
"AI can help Vietnam make economic leaps, to reach the same level as some countries in the region. I believe that young people have an important role to play in bringing AI into life," said Mr. Thomas E. Patterson.
