Neuinfer

Problem:

Reducing the probalities of autistic baby born and miscarriage by Iot based machine learning solution which seemlessly monitoring brain activity of mother. Thus inferring the possible risk of epilepsy, psychic instability, maternal health and fetal neural development in real time and mitigating neural abnormalities of fetus, ensuring happy and healthy maternity.

Solution:

Wearable ieeg and vivo imaging kit to seamlessly monitor the brain activity of mother and fetus neural development. Real time warning while found  anomalies with possible high risk of brain damage or which may causes neural disorder. Realtime advisory ensuring preventive measures by providing insights of mother's mental and physical condition. 

Impact:

Our solution promises 95% accurate response if there is any imminent risk of fetal neural abnormalities or possible mental disorder of mother such as epilepsy/seizure to reduce miscarriage.

Neural birth defects affect one in every 33 babies (about 3%,one in 4.5 minutes and 120k each year) born in the US, accounting for 20% of all infant deaths. This ratio concerns the significance of neural development of fetus which depends on mother's mental & physical states as research on Perinatal Psychology and Health predicted that pregnant mother's happy(endorphins and encephalins) and stress hormones(Cortisol) released into bloodstream cross through the placenta to the baby through neurohormones directly controls the fetus brain development.

Therefore, we are using intelligent electroencephalography to continuously monitor mother's brain signal and fetus neural activity to mitigate and predict in real time if there is any possible risk of fetus brain damage, abnormal coma or related neural disorders to treat it as early as possible. This solution helps in ensuring hygiene maternal delivery and reduces the chance of autistic/abnormal baby birth. Moreover, mother's neural data help us detecting and preventing epilepsy/scizures which may cause miscarriage or maternal complexities.

- iEEG and vivo imaging based iot solution using machine learning to monitor and predict imminant risk of health and mental damage for both mother and womb baby.

- App based interface to continuously guide mothers to keep them cheerful and happy mood.

- Warning during stressful or emotional state as this might affect baby's neural development and possible overcome strategies including food, gym and meditative suggestions for balanced lifestyle and recovery

- Better data and analyzed insights of body response over time (neural, temperature, pulse,  for doctors to treat a patient in terms of emergency.

No one wants a autistic or physically challenged baby right? NeuInfer is working in mitigating and reducing the possibilies of brain, neural damage of fetus or miscarriage caused by mother's brain disorder. We are targeting the marginal and vulnerable pregnant women to help in their life's critical situation. However, our solution is very affordable (5 dollar) and one time application subscription (2 dollar) based what would serve along the whole pregnancy period at ease. 

Our solution aims at reducing the abnormal child birth and incresing healthy maternal outcomes which met the challenge "Maternal and child health" pretty fine. However, we took a sligh advanced neurological approach to implement the solution from the primary brain data and thus providing the significant breakthrough in solutions. This would certainly assist in reducing early child birth, death from miscarriage, prenatal difficulties and postpartum mother and child's development and recovery.

We took an brain frequency based approach to determine the best possible activities during pregnancy and fetal neural development to use these analysed data as a feature of our machine learning model along with rolling basis pathological data to predict the possible vulnerabilites and preventive measures. 

Moreover our intelligent app interface working as mood changer for mothers guiding them continuously to maintain healthy and risk free lifestyle. Thus promoting healthy and proper development of her baby's neural state.

Our solution fits with refugee mothers and their baby's betterment pretty fine. And we have a different need blind distribution strategy in mind at negligible cost to ensure each and every prospective mother having equal service by Neuinfer's product and services. Moreover, sponsored and free of cost services, training and medication for refugee mothers is another core goal and objective Neuinfer team considered during product development. Hopefully this would come with our application based on Augmented Reality as soon as possible.

We are a gender equal starup where among 7 teammates 4 are female. Moreover, we are focusing into our women based product distribution channel through Nurses and doctors (around 85% nurses and 45% of doctors are women) where everyone gets some kind of financial benefit for their services .Therefore, we believe our startup meet this prize criteria very well.

we are expecting to reduce mortality rate and abnormal child birth by at least 37% by ensuring proper maternal psychic and physical health considering the fetal's neural development in close monitoring and with utmost care. Also, workers related to heathcare gets mandatory skill development opportunities and profit bonus by using this advanced tech based solution.

We have developed our product using advanced machine learning and data science techniques. Smart monitoring system, prediction and alarming systems powered by various application of AI domain such as NLP, Predictive Ml and Voice based solutions.

Our solution is affordable and highly scalable at a competitive and comparatively low price. Therefore, we are expecting to serve it around low and middle income countries with less cost compared to Us/canada market. This approach would significantly push the boundary of proper treatment feasibility in low- and middle-income countries. So we are suitably associated with the mission of Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation

Our core intention and mindset is to influence millions of user around the planet by an affordable cost solution. That's why we developed an marginalized revenue structure to meet the affordability and ease of access to this solution. Moreover, our solution aims at neural disorder free future generation through technologically advanced solution and proper maternal care.
