App Development and AI in Healthcare: Making a Difference

Adrit Rao, a 16-year-old high school student and app developer, has made significant contributions to the fields of app development and artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare. He combines his skills in coding and AI to create point-of-care tools for diagnosing and treating health issues, such as cardiovascular conditions. His apps, including Signer, which translates American Sign Language into spoken English, have been well-received and widely distributed. Adrit's nonprofit organization, AirTech, teaches app development to kids through the Learn to Code for Kids program, which has been a successful initiative. He is also involved in research projects at Stanford University, where he collaborates with experts in the field and works on AI-based apps for healthcare problem-solving. Adrit's goal is to make healthcare solutions more accessible and improve diagnosis accuracy in the field.
