Kenyan Medical Language Translation App Wins Coding Competition

An innovation by four university students that translates the local dialect into English or Kiswahili to make it easier for doctors to diagnose patients' symptoms remotely has emerged as the overall winner of the fourth season of the Game of Learners competition, Capital FM reports.

The solution, dubbed 'Jambo Care,' was developed by Team Ruby, which beat 16 other teams from universities across Africa to win the season.

This season's challenge aimed to develop technological solutions for Africa's health challenges and featured more than 80 students from 11 African countries, with an equal balance of men and women.
