Indicative/Sample Problem Statements
All participants are encouraged to come up with their own problem statements, however, the
participants may refer to the following list for inspiration.
Education
1. Early Detection of Learning Disabilities:
a. Create an AI solution that analyses student performance patterns, written
work, and classroom behaviour to identify potential learning disabilities at
an early stage.
b. Develop a screening tool that uses computer vision and NLP to assess
reading fluency, comprehension, and other key indicators.
2. Personalised Learning Plans Generator (for critical grades such as X, XII)
a. Build an adaptive learning system that generates customised study plans
based on students' learning styles, strengths, weaknesses, and curriculum
requirements.
b. Create a recommendation engine that suggests appropriate learning
resources, exercises, and assessment methods tailored specifically for
grade X curriculum standards.
3. Feynman Learning Assistant for College Students
a. Develop an interactive AI tool that enables users to learn concepts by
leveraging the Feynman Learning technique (explaining complex topics in
simple terms).
4. College Coach: AI-Based Guidance System
a. Build an AI guidance system that assesses a user's interests, aptitude, and
academic credentials to recommend suitable colleges and courses.
b. Develop personalised career path suggestions based on student profiles
and current education market trends.
5. Multilingual Education Support
a. Develop an AI tool that helps students learn in their native languages while
transitioning to standard curriculum languages.
Healthcare
1. Early Diagnosis of Oral Cancer
a. Create an AI-powered screening tool using smartphone cameras to detect
early signs of oral cancer.
b. Develop a system streamlining treatment avenues by connecting patients
with appropriate healthcare providers and resources.
2. Healthcare Resource Optimisation During Crisis
a. Build predictive models for patient inflow and outflow during healthcare
crises.
b. Develop resource allocation systems that optimise staff, beds, and
equipment during peak demand periods.
3. Mental Health Support Systems
a. Create an accessible AI-powered mental health screening and support tool.
b. Develop a chatbot that provides evidence-based cognitive behavioural
therapy techniques.
Climate/Environment
1. AI-Driven Identification of Optimal Retrofit Measures
a. Develop AI tools that use property characteristics, energy usage, and
environmental data to identify and recommend the most effective building
retrofit interventions. Optimise for cost, carbon savings, and feasibility at
scale.
2. Weather Forecasting for Renewable Optimisation
a. Build AI models integrating satellite and local sensor data to generate more
accurate and granular weather forecasts. Reduce reliance on fossil fuel
reserves by enabling better prediction and management of renewable
energy outputs.
3. Soil-Based Carbon Sequestration Monitoring
a. Design AI systems that model, monitor, and validate carbon sequestration
practices in soil. Use remote sensing, agronomic data, and ML to drive
carbon credit generation and inform sustainable agricultural practices.
4. AI for Low-Carbon Diet Transition
a. Develop consumer-focused AI tools that analyse diet patterns and
recommend lower-carbon food alternatives. Incorporate behavioural
science to create nudges and personalised suggestions to help users
reduce food-related emissions.
5. Carbon Accounting and Modelling for SMEs
a. Build an AI system that simplifies carbon footprint estimation for
small-to-mid-sized enterprises by combining business activity data,
procurement records, and emissions databases. Enable easy reporting and
access to offset strategies.
6. District-Level Heatwave Prediction
a. Develop AI models that predict heatwaves at a district level using local
climate data.
b. Create early warning systems and intervention recommendations for
vulnerable communities.
7. Energy Usage Optimisation
a. Build AI systems that analyse and optimise energy consumption in homes,
offices, and industrial settings.
b. Develop smart grid management tools that efficiently balance energy supply
and demand.
8. Carbon Credit Utilisation for Industries
a. Develop platforms that enable industries to understand, track, and trade
carbon credits.
b. Develop decision support tools that identify optimal carbon reduction
strategies based on cost-benefit analysis.
9. Carbon Credit Utilisation for Citizens
a. Build consumer-facing applications that translate everyday actions into
carbon impact.
b. Develop incentive systems that reward carbon-conscious behaviour among
individuals.
10.Water Conservation and Management
a. Build predictive models for water availability and quality in vulnerable
regions.
Urban Development
1. Public Transport Usage Incentivization
a. Develop dynamic pricing models that offer discounts for off-peak travel.
b. Create gamification systems that reward consistent public transport usage
during rush hours.
c. Build AI tools that suggest optimal commute times and routes to reduce
congestion.
2. Smart Public Transportation
a. Develop dynamic routing systems that adapt to real-time demand.
Information/Media
1. Misinformation Counter-Measures
a. Develop tools that identify potentially false information spreading through
online forums.
b. Create systems that provide contextual fact-checking and prompt
corrections for viral misinformation.
c. Build educational modules that improve media literacy and critical thinking
skills.
2. Digital Literacy Enhancement
a. Build AI tutors that teach digital literacy skills to vulnerable populations
