Design a text-to-text medical chatbot that can engage the patient in conversation about their medical issue and can provide a personalized diagnosis based on their symptoms and connect them to a doctor.
  • Develop a project to help improve water inundation and water quality.
  • Develop a Project to protect, restore, and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation.
  • Develop a solution to identify and curb predatory lending. Use machine learning to analyze lending trends and predict predatory instances. Enhance regulatory measures with AI for real-time compliance monitoring and establish an AI-driven system for tracking and reporting predatory lending.
  • Develop a model to predict the impact of climate change on various geographical regions. The model should analyze historical weather data, greenhouse gas emissions, and other relevant factors to forecast changes in temperature, precipitation, sea levels, and extreme weather events. The goal is to provide accurate predictions that can aid in climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies.
  • Design a system to enhance cybersecurity measures. The system should be capable of detecting and preventing cyber threats in real-time, identifying patterns in malicious activities, and predicting potential future attacks. It should also provide recommendations for improving security protocols and safeguarding sensitive information.
WEB 3.0
  • The proliferation of online marketplaces and e-commerce platforms has led to an increase in fraud and counterfeiting. These illegal activities not only harm consumers but also damage the reputation and profitability of legitimate businesses. Develop a blockchain-based solution that can be used by businesses to verify the authenticity of their products and prevent counterfeiting. The solution should be able to track the movement of products through the supply chain and provide a tamper-proof record of their authenticity.
  • The opaqueness in the government funding process is a major problem in the country, where the beneficiaries do not get the total amount of funds to which they are entitled. There is corruption among middlemen in this process, which restricts the smooth conduction of the government funding process. Develop a blockchain-based solution that can be used by government entities to make their funding process transparent, secure, and effective. The solution should be able to effectively conduct the role of the central funding process. The solution should be as transparent as it should be. The solution should be accessible by both parties i.e., giving and taking entities.
  • The loan/betting app scam has been really common amongst the Indian middle class in the post-pandemic world. we are looking for a solution that facilitates such fraudulent apps on the Play Store even before the app commences operations to protect the citizens of the country from falling prey to such heinous scams.
  • In the realm of Web 3.0, devise a solution that leverages the transparency and security of blockchain technology to protect user privacy. This solution should incorporate innovative mechanisms that allow users to exercise control over their personal data. It should ensure that users have the ability to dictate how, when, and by whom their data is accessed. The goal is to create a user-centric data privacy model that fosters trust and promotes responsible data handling.
  • The advent of Web 3.0 has opened up new possibilities for decentralized finance (DeFi), but it also poses significant challenges in terms of security and fraud prevention. Develop a blockchain-based solution that can provide a secure and transparent platform for DeFi transactions. The solution should be able to detect and prevent fraudulent activities, ensure the integrity of financial transactions, and provide users with a clear audit trail. It should also incorporate smart contract functionality to automate the execution of financial agreements, thereby reducing the need for intermediaries and lowering transaction.
