For his part, Dr. Tamer Medhat Ibrahim, Vice Dean for Education and Student Affairs, praised this outstanding win and explained that the project is a smart application that connects blood donors with hospitals and medical institutions in need, instantly and efficiently. It does so by analyzing health data, geolocation, and blood type using AI technologies. The app also features a reward point system for donors, which can be redeemed for services from partner medical institutions.

In the same context, Dr. Mahmoud Yassin Shams Eldin, Vice Dean for Postgraduate Studies and Research, expressed his pride in the achievement of the project team, noting that the idea was developed in response to a pressing community need due to the shortage of voluntary blood donations. The project aims to foster a culture of blood donation and save lives through innovative and effective use of technology.

The win was achieved by students Galal Zidan and Reda Belal, who took first place in the university-level category of the competition with their innovative project “Vein of Hope”, under the supervision of Dr. Basma Mohamed Hassan, a lecturer at the Faculty of Artificial Intelligence.
