During their visit to ISSAI, officials were introduced to AI-driven technologies designed to enhance both administrative efficiency and disease diagnostics within the healthcare system. Among the showcased projects, Vice Minister of Health Yerbol Ospanov was particularly impressed by the work of Professor Gulnur Kalimuldina, who presented a sensor-equipped insole designed to detect flat feet. The insole utilizes triboelectric sensor technology with an autonomous power supply, offering applications beyond podiatry. The innovation also enables the early diagnosis of autism in children and facilitates rehabilitation monitoring for athletes and postoperative patients.
Commenting on the potential of these innovations, Vice Minister Ospanov stated: «The Ministry of Health fully supports innovative products. I am especially pleased to see young students contributing to such promising advancements. We will look into opportunities to launch a pilot implementation of these technologies and work towards establishing local production in Kazakhstan».
