From patient empowerment to changing behaviours of slum dwellers, Pune Connect sees many innovations
When Mitesh Bohra returned from the Unites States, the first thing that worried him was the lack of information available for his medical needs. Having undergone major dental surgeries and suffering from a few vitamin deficiencies, Bohra wanted to make sure that he has everything at his fingertip. But unfortunately everything available online was half-baked or incomplete.
“This is when I decided to create a database that not only provides a doctor’s experience and designation but also a detailed description of ailments and specialities to visit,”added Bohra. This gave birth to the idea of Savetime Technologies. It will not only enhance the reach in different cities but has started to profile hospitals and will collate information about pathology labs as well.
Like Mitesh Bohra, this year’s Pune Connect, an initiative by Software Exporters’ Association Pune (SEAP) saw several innovations like Smart Survey, Antfarm Robotics and Samagra waste management.
The third year of Pune Connect focused on featuring and supporting innovative start-ups related to the IT industry. The event was organised by SEAP in an association with The Indus Entrepreneurs (TiE) Pune, The National Association of Software and Services Companies (NASSCOM), Mahratta Chamber Of Commerce Industries & Agriculture (MCCIA) Hinjewadi Industries Association (HIA), PuneTech, Pune Open Coffee Club (POCC), and Indo American Chamber of Commerce (IACC).
Another user friendly application was showcased by Antfarm Robotics. The startup has introduced a home automation system with the combination of software and hardware and named it as Dustmotes. Implementation of Wireless Sensor Networks targeted towards Home and Office Automation Applications. It allows for on and off switching control of all the electronics controlled by switches in the house through any Smartphone, Tablet or through their web page.The device and software that costs up to Rs 1.5 to 1.6 lakh, is considered to be one of the most cost effective home automation system.
The event received 104 applications out of which Pune Tech with the help of TiE, Pune shortlisted 27 start-ups that were featured in the event.
