Bridging the gap

Did you know 72.9 million people in India had diabetes as of 2017? Alarming as the number is, it is expected to be 134 million by 2045. Early and accurate diagnosis goes a long way in preserving the health and quality of life of the patient. This is where machine learning can be of help. Machine learning has been applied to many aspects of the medical field. Using it to predict diabetes based on a person’s regular physical examination data, can enable patients and doctors to better deal with this chronic illness.

Meet Our Certified Menterns

It was amazing! I learnt so many things like creating engagement on social media platforms. The 1:1 with mentors were super helpful. I learnt how to create Instagram ads, identify goals & do competitor analysis- so many things.

There was a lot of interactive sessions with Mentors. The Menternship I completed gave me a new perspective to how work has to be done. I truly enjoyed working with real figures & actual industry case studies.

My experience was great as I got a chance to explore subjects like Analytics which are difficult to look for. The Menternship allowed to get subject knowledge and see what goes behind the making and delivering of a product.

My experience was very useful as I learnt so much about Fleet Management & Digital Marketing connected to the real-world scenario. I learnt how to actually work with social media channels like IG & Facebook.
