The Google for Developers Solution Challenge is an annual competition that encourages university students worldwide to use their technical skills and Google technology to address one or more of the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals. This competition ends with a live demo day where 10 teams present their projects, and winners are selected for top prizes and a people’s choice award.
This year’s winners come from South Korea, India, and Nigeria, where they have used technology in innovative ways to benefit their communities. One of the winning teams is ATTI from Pukyong National University Daeyeon Campus in South Korea. They focused on addressing the escalating dementia crisis in the country by developing a mobile app called Atti. This app features a friendly voice assistant designed to help individuals with mild dementia manage memory loss, recalling important life events, and daily routines.
The team utilized Flutter for developing the app to reach a broad user base across Android and iOS platforms. They also leveraged Firebase for member management and feature development, and incorporated Google Cloud features and Gemini API to create the chatbot dialog feature “Atti”. This feature aims to improve communication, promote psychological stability, and support lifestyle patterns for individuals with dementia. The team’s innovative approach aims to enhance the quality of life for those affected by memory loss due to dementia in South Korea.
