December 2025
Technology’s role in healthcare is no longer
just futuristic—it is reshaping diagnostics, care, and dignity for patients
today. Samsung Solve for Tomorrow (SFT) 2025, Samsung’s flagship education
programme, in partnership with IIT Delhi, showcased this transformation by
challenging thousands of students nationwide to design AI-first, human-centred
solutions under the theme “Future of Health, Hygiene and Wellbeing.”
Here’s what this wave of innovation looks
like:
1. Rooted in Real-Life Challenges
Students were invited to build accessible
healthcare tech addressing hygiene, sanitation, nutrition, emotional
well-being, and preventive care—ensuring better health outcomes are a right,
not a privilege.
2. Practical Solutions for Better
Tomorrow
Teams like Alchemist, BRHM, Hear
Bright, Pink Brigadiers brought innovations ranged from
multi-articulated bionic hands and AI early detection tools to predictive
breast health apps and speech recognition devices tailored to India’s
linguistic diversity—all focused on delivering dignity and accessibility in
care.
·
Alchemist (Andhra
Pradesh) –
AI-powered platform with deep learning model to detect subclinical silicosis
·
BRHM (Uttar Pradesh) – Low-cost bionic hand to restore
mobility for people with disabilities
·
Hear Bright (Delhi) – AI-powered glasses that convert
speech into text for supporting hearing impaired
·
Pink Brigadiers
(Odisha) –
Predictive AI app for women to self-check their breast health at home with
secure results
3. Theme Winner – Paraspeak: Giving
Voice to the Unheard
Among the four national winners, Paraspeak
stood out. Developed by 16-year-old Gurugram student Pranet Khetan, it is a
compact AI device that converts impaired speech into clear, fluent
playback—including Hindi. Inspired by people battling speech disorders, Pranet
created India’s first dataset for dysarthric Hindi, filling a critical gap in
AI healthcare.
4. Other Winning Innovations Beyond
Health & Well-Being
SFT 2025 also honoured:
·
NextPlay.AI – AI sports coaching platform
·
Prithvi Rakshak – Gamified sustainability app
5. Support to Scale & Succeed
Winners received up to ₹1 crore
incubation support at IIT Delhi, with additional awards for top teams,
including ₹1 lakh grants, Goodwill Awards and Young Innovator
Awards and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip smartphones for the top 20 teams.
6. A Growing, Inclusive Innovation
Ecosystem
SFT 2025 saw wider participation from Tier-II and Tier-III cities, with
alumni returning as mentors and access to IIT Delhi’s FITT Labs for
prototyping. This growth reflects a decentralising STEM movement beyond urban
centres. With 2.9 million young innovators engaged across 68 countries
since 2010, SFT continues to shape the next generation of problem solvers in
India.
7. Guided by Empathy and
Responsibility
Design-thinking workshops encouraged
students to build AI solutions that solve real problems responsibly—aligning
innovation with social needs in a rapidly evolving digital world.
