An innovative new mobile app called Ubenwa uses artificial intelligence to analyze the sound of a newborn baby’s cries. Founded by Charles Onu, a doctoral student in Computer Science at 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ, Ubenwa provides a cost-effective, non-invasive tool to detect newborn asphyxia and save lives.

Onu credits the 2016 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Dobson Cup competition with helping his team to improve their product.
