Aceh — Aneuk Muda Aceh Unggul dan Hebat (AMANAH) supports and strengthens the business concept of startups to develop Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based technology that is useful in detecting lung disease.
Full support from the strategic flagship program of the Government of the Republic of Indonesia (RI) through the initiation of the State Intelligence Agency (BIN) was realized in the Aceh Digital Innovation and Creativity Techfest (ADICT) activity.
The event is specifically for startups that want to grow further by strengthening their business concept.
At the event, a local startup winner was selected, Ludesc. According to Cut Nanda as the Founder of the startup, the AMANAH activity is extraordinary because it allows all young people in Aceh to continue to develop with technology.
“This activity is extraordinary. Moreover, this is part of technology in Aceh that is not really supported. However, with AMANAH and ADICT activities, Acehnese youth can continue to develop with their technology,” he said.
Ludesc’s victory occurred because they provided a digital system service that is able to work in a self-screening manner to detect lung disease.
With the help of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, the detection results of the system are faster, easier and cheaper.
“With an AI and telemedicine base, we can easily detect our own lung health,” said Cut Nanda.
Meanwhile, one of the judges for the event, Qurratu Aini, highly appreciated AMANAH’s contribution to continuing to develop local startups.
“Along with the activities that AMANAH increases, it will be able to form more experience for startup founders,” he said.
There is also a mentoring process from the Indonesian Government’s strategic flagship program through the BIN initiative which focuses on strengthening the product concept and marketing of all startups.
Similarly, Muammar Khadafi as one of the mentors said that the ADICT event is a forum for business development from local Aceh startups.
According to him, startups from the region nicknamed Negeri Rencong actually have very great potential.
“So actually our startups have potential in Aceh. However, what needs to be developed further is the ecosystem,” said Muammar Khadafi.
