According to a release from the Association of IT Companies ATIC, students Anastasia Batrincea and Daniel Vozny from the theoretical lyceum “Nicolae Milescu Spătaru” in Chisinau won the 13-17 age category with their project EDU-RAG. It is a private offline tutor based on artificial intelligence that quickly answers students’ questions in several languages and works on regular school computers without using a graphics processor.
Also at the national level, students Cristian Gluhu and Damian Basoc, under the guidance of teacher Viorica Moglan from the theoretical lyceum “Iulia Hasdeu” in Chisinau, received an award for their project SmartCare, an artificial intelligence-based mobile application that analyzes medical images directly on the device, providing fast and reliable pre-assessment for communities with limited resources.
With the app, even if there is no specialized doctor or hospital nearby, doctors or students can check the health status of patients and quickly decide what action to take. For example, if someone in a rural area takes an X-ray, the image can be immediately analyzed on their phone using SmartCare. The app recognizes underlying medical issues and provides a preliminary assessment, saving time and facilitating quick intervention.
ATIC notes that pupils and students from the Republic of Moldova have consistently participated in the Intel® AI Global Impact Festival competition, achieving important results and demonstrating their ability to develop innovative technological solutions that are recognized globally.
The students’ participation in the competition was made possible thanks to the strategic partnership between Tekwill and the Ministry of Education and Research of the Republic of Moldova, which aims to develop digital, IT and STEM skills throughout life. Thanks to the Tekwill in Every School program, Moldovan students have free access to artificial intelligence courses developed jointly with Intel.
