2015 imagine cup: Team Nigeria’s AsthmaVisor solution attracts Microsoft attention By Emeka Aginam, in Seattle, Washington Software Nigeria’s team at the ongoing Microsoft Imagine Cup attracted attention of international audience as Microsoft has expressed interest on the possibilities of working with Team LifeWatch from Nigeria on their AsthmaVisor solution designed to supervise asthmatic patients. This development has shown that Nigerian indigenous solution can be retooled to the international market if given opportunity and the right platform. It would be recalled that Nigeria is among the three African Teams out of thirty three Teams showcasing at the 2015 Microsoft Imagine cup. Team Lifewatch is made up of four innovative students from Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti, ABUAD. The Team members included Adeyemo Oluwaseun, Kevin Ahwin, Sobola David and Raymond Obinaju who are currently flying Nigeria flag at the worldwide finals of Microsoft Imagine cup technology competition, in Seattle, Washington, the United States of America. Although Team LifeWatch was unable to advance to the next stage of the completion that will end today, soon after their live presentation to the panel of judges, Dennis Tom, Senior Director, Program Management , Microsoft Corporation who was thrilled by the solution immediately expressed interest for possible working relationship with the team. During his meeting with the students and their mentors yesterday at the Microsoft Redmond Campus in Seattle, he commended the amazing solution showcased by Team LIfeWatch, saying that there was need for a possible working relationship as a result of the robust nature of their solution to solve Asthmatic issues claiming lives all over the world. When the innovative students asked him on the possibility of partnership to take the solution to the next level, he said that, “I was thrilled by your live presentation by the panel of judges. Your Team has done well. It is possible to partner on the dust sensor which is the only missing link in the product. But it will take little time though. We are looking for robust solution like this that will better people’s lives. We can partner on your vision. We can start discussion. You need to work on the dust sensor if you want to get it right. Asking questions on battery life of the wearable, he advised the students to get approval from the local regulatory authority for product Type-Approval. Expressing their gratitude for the expression of interest, the spokesperson of Team LifeWatch , Raymond Obinaju said that they will be ready to work with Microsoft so as to take the solution to the next level, adding that the Team will go back to the drawing board for the challenges ahead. Meanwhile, the Founder of Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti, Aare Afe Babalola SAN, in his goodwill message to Microsoft expressed happiness on how the software giant has been revolutionizing the computing world just as he is transforming the educational ecosystem in Nigeria.
