The Google for Developers Solution Challenge is an annual competition that challenges university students worldwide to use their technical skills and Google technology to tackle some of the world’s most pressing issues. This year, three teams from South Korea, India, and Nigeria have emerged victorious in the challenge, showcasing how technology can be used to improve lives in their communities.
One of these winning teams is ATTI from Pukyong National University Daeyeon Campus in South Korea. They focused on addressing the growing dementia crisis in the country by developing a mobile app called Atti. This app features a friendly voice assistant designed to help individuals with mild dementia manage memory loss and recall important life events and daily routines.
The team used Flutter for developing the app, which allowed them to reach a wide user base across Android and iOS platforms. They also leveraged Firebase for member management and feature development, and incorporated Google Cloud features and Gemini API to create the chatbot dialog feature “Atti”. This feature aims to improve communication, promote psychological stability, and support lifestyle patterns for individuals with dementia. Overall, ATTI’s innovative approach highlights how technology can be used to enhance the quality of life for those affected by memory loss due to dementia in South Korea.
