Students from the Department of Statistics, Faculty of Science, Khon Kaen University, received an honorable mention at the STI Inventions Contest 2025 (Champion of Champions Round) for their innovative project, “Glumii: Conversational Multi-agents,” an AI-based solution designed to assist pregnant women with diabetes. The competition took place at the Chiang Mai International Exhibition and Convention Centre on July 25, 2025.
The award-winning team consists of Miss Phannarom Ratchakom (4th year), Miss Sirinyaporn Roschan (4th year), and Miss Chitlada Niminram (3rd year), under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Thanapong Intara, Ph.D.
The innovation, Glumii, is an AI-powered system developed to support expectant mothers diagnosed with diabetes. It employs a Conversational Multi-agent approach, enabling intelligent dialogue agents to provide personalized health advice, monitor symptoms, and assist in health management throughout pregnancy. This system aims to reduce risks and complications for both mother and child, demonstrating a significant step forward in applying science and technology to address critical health challenges.
Miss Phannarom Ratchakom, a fourth-year student from the Department of Statistics, Faculty of Science, Khon Kaen University, and developer of the Glumii innovation, stated that the inspiration arose from a desire to help alleviate the workload of medical personnel, particularly in responding to numerous patient messages. “We developed this chatbot connected to verified and reliable databases to ensure accurate information delivery, enabling 24-hour support as a substitute for medical staff. The distinctive feature of our innovation lies in designing AI that focuses on patient behavior modification. Beyond providing information, the chatbot sends meal reminders and calculates carbohydrate content in food to determine whether it exceeds recommended levels, thereby reducing diabetes risk in pregnant mothers. This creates widespread benefits for both medical personnel and patients.”
“Learning about receiving the award was beyond our expectations, considering the numerous AI inventions submitted by various universities. Personally, I view AI as a tool that makes work faster and easier. We expect to apply this experience to develop and compete in future opportunities. We are grateful to our supervising professor who took us to field meetings to gather actual requirements from doctors, nurses, and real patients, as well as provided guidance on project development. This confirms that Khon Kaen University offers more than just classroom learning, enabling us to apply knowledge in real-world settings, develop creative works, and contribute significantly to society.”
The collaborative team of student innovators also includes Miss Sirinyaporn Roschan, a fourth-year student, and Miss Chitlada Niminram, a third-year student, under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Thanapong Intara, Ph.D. This achievement not only demonstrates the potential of Faculty of Science students at Khon Kaen University but also reflects the application of scientific knowledge and technology to address critical health issues, aligning with innovation development for society and the enhancement of citizens’ quality of life.
