Mobile App Developed for Cancer Screening and Treatment Processes Receives TÜBİTAK 2209-A Funding

Fourth-year students from our university’s Department of Computer Engineering (English Program)—Beyza Nur Selvi, Rumeysa Semiz, Emir Ata Karagenç, and Zeki Zafer Aydınlı, and supervised by Prof. Dr. Meltem Huri Baturay Khan, has been awarded funding under the TÜBİTAK 2209-A University Student Research Projects Support Program.

The project aims to develop an AI-powered integrated mobile health assistant that collects and proactively manages individuals’ scattered personal health data—such as chronic conditions, allergies, vaccination schedules, and medication routines—in a single central location, rather than tracking this data using traditional, static archiving methods. This innovative approach utilizes an N-tier software architecture that enables end-to-end secure (JWT) data communication, a cross-platform mobile interface design (MVVM), and a Gemini AI-based infrastructure integrated with the user’s calendar.

Based on the expected outcomes, the project aims to prevent treatment delays caused by neglected personal health routines and address potential information gaps during emergencies. Thanks to this smart mobile assistant, users will be able to enjoy a much more personalized health management experience compared to traditional health apps that merely list medical data or send bulk messages—one that engages in interactive communication with the user and synchronizes status updates in real time.
