Amanda Danumbu, a student of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), has won the International Women’s Day (IWD) 2025 Tech Contest.
Miss Amanda, who is specializing in Computational Chemistry, has been actively exploring the integration of programming into her academic journey, with a growing interest in the intersection of science and technology.
According to reports, Miss Amanda developed a keen interest in participating in the 2025 IWD competition. As a science student, she envisioned and led the development of a web application called the BP Abnormality Notifier, which predicts blood pressure abnormalities and alerts users, enabling early health monitoring and intervention.
The app, built using Python, Scikit-learn, and Streamlit, employs a machine learning model trained on medical data—including haemoglobin levels, genetic pedigree coefficients, body mass index (BMI), sex, exercise habits, and family history of chronic conditions.
The application, which she developed over two weeks, features a clean, user-friendly interface and reflects her deepening commitment to applying artificial intelligence to real-world problems, especially after trial tests demonstrated its effectiveness.
Among the many innovative technologies presented during the contest, Amanda Danumbu’s BP Abnormality Notifier app was adjudged the Best Tech Product for the 2025 IWD Tech Contest.
