Some of these projects include VitaFALL, a startup that aims at helping aged people, specially-abled and the needy by monitoring their vital signs and fall prediction/detection. In most of the devices and innovations, the fall detection technique is only based on gyroscope or tri-accelerometer or tilt sensor, so there is a very high possibility of generation of alse fall alarms as there is no vitals observation analysis simultaneously and VitaFALL seeks to resolve this challenge.
"It is truly a matter of great pride to see our students taking part and exhibiting their innovative skills and abilities at such a young age. Through such initiatives we surely look forward to providing a maximum exposure to entrepreneurship in our City, State and Nation, said Jay Sudani, CEO of the University's Entrepreneurship Development Centre.

Such projects have been resolving the challenges which the people have been facing in the various sectors of life and require effective solutions.

The sale of such herbal-based products is increasing and will continue to increase day by day, hence this herbal-based product which can be used in the form of herbal tea will be specifically effective in preventing diabetes at a pre-diabetic stage.
