Unfortunately, this time round, we didn’t win any prizes but as the saying goes (and we fully concur) “the journey is more important than the destination.” The knowledge we gained about MS will most definitely be put to good use for other digital innovations, such as the Clinicards. On Sunday, after a weekend of hard work, the Synappz Team was able to present a functional live demo of Ms. In their view, the most important aspect was the fact that (a) the system gets to know the user individually, thereby creating better insight into the person’s own disease progression, and (b), that this overview could then be shared with their treating physician. It appeared that 4 out of 5 MS patients collected data on the progression of their disease, or did so in the past, and they also clearly supported the idea of using speech for data input. Several MS patients were present during certain session of the Hackathon and our team took advantage of the occasion to conduct several interviews with them in order to validate the Ms. But Syn Virtual Assistant and SynEngine changed everything. The power of it was realized when it was connected with a system that had a virtual assistant character ready to take voice or textual commands. Science still doesn’t quite know what the causes of MS are nor how a person should best organize his/her life after the diagnosis has been given. Syn Engine was designed to power something like that especially an AI Agent or as some call Personal Virtual Assistant. MS is a disease that affects all individuals differently. Jarvis gets to know the users personally and can make her knowledge of multiple sclerosis (MS) available to them. Jarvis concept, a self-learning digital personal-assistant wholly based on speech. Team Synappz was present at the MS Hackathon on 20 and 21 May.
