" As a Millennium Fellow, I am excited to collaborate with a global network of changemakers and apply my skills in Web3 and blockchain to drive impactful social innovations. I believe that technology has the power to transform societies, and I am passionate about using it to create decentralized solutions that address real-world challenges. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Alzheimer's Detection through Speech and Text Analysis
The title of the project is detection of Alzheimer's disease using speech. As the name suggests we are working on a model that can detect if a person has Alzheimer's even at early stages. Normally this would cost around 200$ which is a lot for people from many countries. This model can help solve this issue by conducting multiple tests from the convenience of their home, thus reducing the need to spend precious money on these tests. A lot of people just avoid the medical tests because they can't afford it. This project can help them by reducing the cost by a huge margin or even free depending on the scale.
