Cancer is one of the deadly diseases that one can suffer from. The cost of treatment, availability of doctors, and drugs is do high that not all can afford.
The government is making progress by trying to improve accessibility and availability of these services, we are even started running marathons to raise funds and awareness.
Artificial intelligence
This is a field in IT that is continuously growing and developments are made on a day to day basis.As i was dong my usual research i stumped along an article on standford university and i was amassed that an AI algorithm that can identify skin cancer as well as a professional doctor.
The program was trained on nearly 130,000 images of moles, rashes, and lesions using a technique known as deep learning. It was then tested head-to-head against 21 human dermatologists, where its creators say it performed with an accuracy on par with humans (“at least” 91 percent as good).
This is not yet deployed but when it does it will be significant progress.in future am sure you will be able to download an app to your smartphone install scan your skin using the camera give it a few minutes for processing and pap the results are out.
so you are at home maybe watching a boring movie, start chatting, no one is replying check out some of the app you downloaded and aah skin cancer app pops up. Do a quick scan on your legs(assuming you are on a pair of shorts) and gets your results instantly.

How many universities do we have? how many IT graduate do we produce every year? what is the rate of unemployment? is there something we doing wrong?I would be very happy of U.O.N. faculty of I.T. comes up the next eye scanning app. scan your eye and gives you some recommendation or something, or some sheng version of siri.
These ideas are endless but will still give credit to the boys and girls out there who are producing app that are changing our lives as Kenyans. guess will cover these in the next post.

The idea is real,but the problem starts with the knowledge being acquired from the said universities.the government should focus on technical skills compelled to theoretical.
Invest in really skills,that can improve the living standards of the kenyans.....
For an artist, you have poured your heart and soul into your art, and now you are being asked to go out and market it. In doing so, there is a natural fear of personal rejection. Fortunately today many of the best ways for self-promotion are not quite as direct and confrontational.canmore,AB Laser treatments
