Huge congratulations to our very own MITB IoT Team SWIFT Responders (Abhimanyu Bhatia, Madeline Lim Cheng Geok, Nurulasyiqah Binte Mohammad Taha) who clinched 2nd place at this year’s Microsoft AI for Accessibility Hackathon 2022!
Since November 2021, Team SWIFT Responders has qualified as one of the 11 teams amongst the 75 in the Asia Pacific Region participating in this Hackathon to come up with solutions using technology to assist people with disabilities.
The team has developed the Support Wheelchair-user Independence Fall Tracker (SWIFT) System to support the independent living of adult persons. It has the capability to detect when a wheelchair user’s body falls off-balance and enables them to receive immediate assistance by alerting SWIFT responders (volunteers and caregivers).
