Dr. Dhesi Raja has developed an Artificial Intelligence in Medical Epidemiology (AIME), a disease-prediction mobile platform that employs technology and data to predict deadly disease outbreaks. Dr Dhesi’s dengue prediction app was also recognised by the PISTOIA alliance as the winner for their Mini Startup Challenge held in London, United Kingdom. Through webe Community, Dr Dhesi hopes to champion his project in order to control dengue outbreaks in Malaysia.
