Chinese Teen Develops AI App to Help Grandfather Manage Medication
An 18-year-old Chinese student, Ma Kai, developed an AI-powered app to help his grandfather remember to take medications on time. The app, built using MiniCPM, a large language model by Beijing-based ModelBest, also alerts users if medicines are expired by analyzing photos of packaging. Ma created the app due to his close bond with his grandfather, who has underlying health conditions and lives alone. He plans to improve the app before starting university in another city this September.
