AI World Championship 2019 held in Silicon Valley, May 16-19, 2019 where a Pakistani family, the Mayets won the Technology Award for inventing Cavity Crusher, a device that uses artificial intelligence to monitor a child’s brushing habits.
Over 140 coaches from all around the world participated with their teams. However, only six were selected as finalists from Pakistan, Boulivia, Palestine, Spain, the US and Uzbekistan.
The Mayets becomes the proud of Pakistan for such a splendid high-tech idea to solve problems in community. The winning family’s coach, Sana Mehmood, was also renowned for her efforts in training them.
The Cavity Crusher’s algorithm uses the time of brushing to determine a child’s oral health habits. Parents will be notified if the child has spent not enough time on brushing.
Before the prototype, the family built a model which recognized images of tooth brushing. But they decided that number data could get more accurate results.
Through the AI Family Challenge program, the Mayet family learned about AI as it guided them through the recognition of a problem in their community and applied what they learned to develop a solution for it using artificial intelligence.
